I have had a lot of really great things happen to me in my life. I have always tried to help others in one way or another. I must admit never in my wildest dreams did I think that through doing a bodybuilding video and trying to get myself in shape would I have influenced someone else like this.
This has to be one of the finest things that have happened to me. When I got this message from this young man I had tears in my eyes and immediately showed it to my wife Lorraine. To know that our actions could mean a lot to someone else and has really made me realise I should always try to be my best at all times. You just never know what influence you could have on someone else. I think it is really important that you always try to be a good influence.
Testimonial of Note - I received this as a result of one of my bodybuilding videos on my Youtube.
Hey ...
Date: 19 Jun 2009
Hey Baz I hope you are fine ^^ I just wanted to stop and tell you something ... my Dad he is about your same age, he is 56 ... he will be 57 soon ...he was in the army when he was young but you know when you get older you are not the same and my father really got out of shape. There was lot of problems here and there and when I thought that things can’t get any worst my mother died. This was like a year ago and you can imagine the depression of my father - 31 years of marriage. Well my dad lost almost all the hope you can have left to get in shape and start a new life. I showed him your videos and your age...you are 57 right ... I think and my dad said... wow 57 he looks like he is 38 and he watched all your videos and I have got to say my dad was very motivated. He has started to go to the gym again with me and we have spend more time together like father and son ... and the best of all he is healthy again ... and I just wanted to thank you ... thanks for being such a motivation for me and my father...now I just hope that he is healthy enough to be around me for a long time to come ... thank you Baz and hey don’t give up...God bless you
My friend, that is one of the very best things I have ever heard. I cannot thank you enough. I feel so privileged to have been a part of helping your father and you to be the best you both can be. I would like to think your dad will be around for a long time because he is looking after himself. I know I certainly am planning on another 30 odd years. I know we really do not know what the future holds for us but if you are in good shape you certainly have a much better chance.
Thank you for such a heart warming testimonial. I would very much like to use this on my website with your permission. I will not use your name if you like. It really would mean a lot to me and to the people who read my website www.buildingmuscles.org.uk as well as my site www.basil-mienie.com. Please let me know if you are OK with that. Baz (he replied that it would be fine to use this).
