My life is NOW

My Life is Now

Rosanna is a passionate, highly motivated endurance athlete.

She is a role model for other women and mothers. It is clear how her dedication and love for her family and her sport can be a catalyst for success and happiness in both. Through her passion for endurance sports and living on purpose, Rosanna has experienced how this can be a vehicle for inspiring and creating positive change.

Here, she shares why she does endurance sports and how her passion and purpose impact her life and those around her.

For PURPOSE

I believe we all have our unique gifts and purpose. When we combine these, we feel aligned, and magic happens.

The tougher or crazier the goal, pushing me to work hard and stretch my limits, the more excited and motivated I become. To train my mind, to challenge my own perceived limitations, which flow into my everyday life, helps me grow and expand and positively impact myself and others.

For the LOVE

I believe in living and following your passion. As far as possible, making it a priority to practice what I love, whatever the activity or hobby, enjoy them. In return, I get renewed perspective and energy.

For my WELLBEING and BALANCE

I always seek ways to live and vibrate in balance and harmony. This means embracing the Yin and Yang of life, the light and the dark. As life is constantly changing, living in balance in all areas of your life is a misperception. Something always has to give.

“I like to remind myself to live like a bamboo tree, bending but not breaking.”

Life as an athlete allows me to make good conscious choices regarding how I think and invest my time, energy, and resources. I aspire to use sport to help me find inner balance, enabling me to deal with life’s forever changes. ‘You have to train your mind,like you train your body.

That’s where the humour comes in. I love to laugh, feel light, and notice how this shapes my day and life. Working as a life coach for years, I witnessed the power of laughter and humour in enabling transformation.

For CHANGE

I have a burning desire to help people and become a vehicle of change, not just for myself but for others.

For WOMEN

I believe a large part of finding happiness, peace and humility in life is through ACCEPTANCE. By accepting who I am, identifying my gifts, and being comfortable with myself, I empower myself. I am not dependent on what people think about me or what I believe is essential.

Instead, I can live from a place of inner truth and spend the energy listening and hearing my OWN VOICE. This voice guides me back to me, to live in authenticity and alignment.

Life as an endurance athlete helps me live in and cherish the moment, stay in purpose and alignment, and continue to reach for the stars.

For my CHILDREN

As a mother, I try to represent living life with passion, in authenticity and individuality. I think it is healthy and inspiring for children to grow up witnessing their mother working hard, not only as a mother but as an independent, passionate woman.

To be true to your soul’s calling, whether you are spiritual or not!

It is, I believe, where real growth and happiness lies. Unwavering passion, determination requires dedication and discipline, consistency and perseverance, GRIT.

To dream for the stars! I tell my children that there is no such thing as a star too high. They need to visualise this star, ‘feel’ it, and if they don’t reach it, it’s okay. As long as they dare to DREAM BIG, focus their energy and enthusiasm, work hard, give themselves to it a hundred percent, there will always be a light on the path, and you will be in precisely the right place. That is a legacy I want to leave for my children.

Life as an endurance athlete helps me live in and cherish the moment, stay in purpose and alignment, and continue to reach for the stars.

My life is NOW. It is not about the past or even the future.
