The Story My Arm Tells: Health, Wealth, and Mindset in Ink

Our bodies are more than just vessels; they are canvases for the stories we choose to tell, the lessons we’ve learned, and the values we live by. For me, the tattoos on my arm are more than just art — they’re symbols of the principles that guide my life: health, wealth, and mindset (my three pillars). Each design is intentional, each line is purposeful, and together they tell a story of transformation, resilience, and forward motion.

The Clock: Embracing Time as a Gift

The clock on my arm reminds me that time never stops. It’s always moving forward, and so must we. Life doesn’t slow down, no matter how much we might wish it would. But that’s the beauty of it — you’re never too old to make a change. Time is always there, an ever-present opportunity to commit to something new, to strive for a better version of yourself. It’s a symbol that no matter where you are in life, now is the perfect time to begin.

The Eye: Keeping Vision on the Goal

Next to the clock is an eye, a powerful reminder to always look forward. The eye represents clarity of purpose, focus, and the determination to keep moving toward my goals. It teaches me not to dwell on the past but to learn from it, using those lessons to fuel my progress. Life isn’t about looking back; it’s about seeing the road ahead clearly and stepping into the best version of yourself.

The Ocean, Poseidon, and the Boat: Navigating Life’s Waters

Life is like being on the ocean — constantly shifting, with waves that pull you back and forth. On my

arm, the image of Poseidon, the boat, and the endless waters symbolizes the journey we’re all on. Without a destination, we drift aimlessly, subject to the whims of the waves. But with focus, determination, and a clear goal, we can navigate through the chaos. There will be storms, yes, and moments where the destination feels impossibly far. But as long as you keep steering forward, you’ll find your way.

The Infinity Staircase: The Journey of Life

One of my favourite elements of my tattoo is the infinity staircase. It represents the constant ups and downs of life — the twists, the turns, the unexpected challenges. But it’s always moving, always climbing. For me, it’s a reminder that growth isn’t linear, and neither is success. There are moments of triumph and moments of struggle, but they are all part of the same journey. You’re always moving forward, even when it feels like you’re not.

The Message Behind the Ink

Together, these elements — time, vision, focus, and perseverance — are a reflection of everything I believe in when it comes to health, wealth, and mindset. They remind me to honour the time I have, to focus on my goals with unwavering vision, and to navigate the chaos of life with determination and purpose. They are a physical representation of the values that have shaped my transformation and the principles I now share with others.

For me, these tattoos aren’t just personal — they are tools I use to inspire others. They tell the story of how I transformed my life at 50, embracing discipline, resilience, and self-belief to become the healthiest, strongest version of myself. They remind me every day that life is a journey, not a destination, and that health, wealth, and mindset are the anchors that keep us steady on our path.

So, next time you see my tattoos, know that they’re more than just ink on skin. They’re a roadmap for life — one that I hope inspires others to embrace their own journeys and live with purpose.
