…The story behind the phrase.
‘Blaise’ is my middle name
The word ‘Blaise’- and the association I see with having perseverance, setting a goal and owning your path – leads to the phrase of ‘Blaise a trail’ being created (as in ‘Blaze’) following a wonderful conversation with my Father.
A journey of fitness, health, and wellbeing encounters many ups and downs – as is inevitable in all aspects of life. With grit, determination, underlying passion and enjoyment of harnessing the action of living an active and healthy life sets the discipline and underlying motivation for when I need it to stick to my path.
Living in Japan and Hong Kong before moving to England I spent a lot of time getting involved in outdoor activities such as skiing, tennis and swimming. I am very grateful to have grown up in such a positive and active environment. My parents encouraged my brothers, sisters and I to get involved in as many sports and activities as possible. Being one of five children this certainly ingrained a healthy competitive streak in us all! My enjoyment of sports continued throughout my school years and over the years I started to forge my own path in my passion of fitness, health and well-being. I continue to learn, understand and accept myself with sport playing a big role in my journey.
In my experiences thus far, the journey of fitness, health, and wellbeing has encountered many ups and downs – as is inevitable in all aspects of life. However, the grit, determination, underlying passion and enjoyment I have for living an active and healthy life sets the discipline and underlying motivation for when I need it to stick to my path.
Plot your path and go for your dreams.
Never give up in moments of doubt and hardship.
Embrace the Ebb and Flow of the journey.
This is something I strongly believe in. We will never be perfect, but we can sure try to do our best every day.
So ‘Blaise a trail’ is my interpretation, my intention, and my gift to you. The journey in which you embark on is especially personal, your own trail – be it on grass, at sea, in a gym, up or down a mountain or across the beach – it is your journey, your trail, your life. You have the choice and you deserve to live it fully.
Learn from the lows, celebrate the highs, and accept the peaks and troughs – for these create the beautiful and unique steps of the powerful journey that is yours to be lived.
With what I have learnt and achieved on my own personal trail, in addition what I continue to learn and discover, will in turn assist to lead and guide you on your own journey.
