Ramadan Mubarak - رمضان مبارك
✨🌙
The word Ramadan has its roots in the Arabic word of ‘Al Ramad’, referring to intense heat and dryness. The word conveys the hardship of fasting as well as the ‘burning’ away of sins by this act of worship.
✨🌙
For the next 30 days, a series of lifestyle changes, at home and work, will take place in the UAE and all Muslims around the world.
✨🌙
A month of spirituality, fasting, charity and sharing. How beautiful is that!
✨🌙
Wishing everyone celebrating this Holy month a Blessed Ramadan Mubarak ✨✨✨

This year has been quite trying on all of us. Everyone has a story to share, whether effected directly or indirectly.
I myself...experienced great loss this year. Mum past away. I thought losing Dad 4 years ago was tough enough but no.
No one can ever be ready for days like these. All I can share is that the mindset I’ve spent years working on, to always see the light in every situation, especially those most challenging, for there are tremendous lessons in them and the only way to come out of trying times.
I have been in awe in what I’ve seen people around me accomplish this past year, despite the huge set backs for so many. The strength, the patience, the resilience, the forgiveness, the love, the support...
We all sure can emerge from it all and what I’ve learnt is that while we each have the strength to spread our wings and fly, we fly higher when we support each other.
Thank you to friends and family who have supported me in my darkest of days. Thank you for understanding me when I needed to be alone to mourn yet showed up when I needed a listening ear. There was no judgement, you were just there when and how I needed you in those moments. THANK YOU for your loving hearts.

‘No other priority than strength...’
・・・
You can be anything you want. A warrior. An athlete. A hard man or woman ready to handle whatever life throws at you. But you must be strong first.
“Strength is the foundation for development of the rest of physical qualities,” categorically stated Professor Leonid Matveev. It takes priority over all others: endurance, flexibility, etc.
Until one becomes “entry level strong”, e.g., a strict bodyweight military press for men or strict pullups for women, no priority other than strength can be justified for a healthy athlete. Science and experience have taught us that any athlete, even in ultra-endurance sports, who has not built a foundation of strength will fail to reach his or her potential.
Strength has been compared to a glass that can be filled with other qualities. The larger the glass, the more endurance, sport skill, fat loss, etc. can hold.
Be what you choose to be. But be .
