Blessing is an Irish Nigerian IFBB Pro Bodybuilder and 2X Arnold Champion. 

His Instagram page has over 1.8 million followers. 

Interestingly enough, a good portion of his more than 1.8 million followers have become fans of his without knowing about his bodybuilding endeavors. 

Instead, he has gotten a following from his hilarious gym sketches and great sense of humor. 

Blessing hopes to change some of the stigma around bodybuilders being too serious and aggressive. And as someone who has known him for years, I can definitely say that he’s doing that video by video and post by post. 

An incredibly motivational and inspiring conversation with a wonderful person who I’ve known for years. Enjoy. 

• His incredible backstory of being smuggled from Nigeria to Ireland at 9 years old
• Growing up in Mayo and joining the gym to help defend himself
• Finding his passion in bodybuilding and his advice for dealing with those who don’t believe in your dream 
• How gratitude is a belief system, not just something we do
• The crazy virality of his video content online and growing to over 1 million followers in six months! 
• His Pro Bodybuilding debut that leads to a short bout of depression and how it’s become his favorite failure “no losing, only learning” 
• And much more.

Today’s podcast is another solo ‘press record and talk’ episode. 

I often make notes on my phone that remind me of the things I need to stay focused on. These are the ones I’ve been using for the past several months so I wanted to share them today (alongside some stories to go alongside each). I hope it helps. 

1.   Happiness is never owned, only rented and that rent is due every day (dealing with anxiety)  03:07

2.   If you’re not happy with a coffee, you won’t be happy with a boat (don’t wish to have more, wish to desire less) 12:18

3.   That what you most need is where you least want to look (insecurity and self-worth) 24:19

4.   Don’t ask a fish who discovered water i.e. if you are too close to a situation, you can’t see it for what it really is. 31:57

5.   It’s not what happens to you, it’s how you react that counts (dealing with sh*t times) 41:34

6.   There are no bad days just character building days (reframing negative into positive) 52:38

7.   Avoid sunk costs (what would you do right now if you didn’t think how much effort, time or money you put into something) 58:52
