Garth Voisin is def­i­nite­ly un­like any oth­er, a unique man, in­deed. His life is a prod­uct of de­ter­mi­na­tion, fo­cus, faith and hard work. Voisin grew up in Ari­ma in a strong and close-knit fam­i­ly, and em­bed­ded with­in him were price­less valu­able lessons in­stilled by his par­ents Pamela and Mau­rice Voisin.

He left Trinidad in his ear­ly 20s, bound for the Unit­ed States, fol­low­ing an in­de­scrib­able call from with­in for more, seek­ing a bet­ter life, walk­ing a path that in time will lead him to his true and right­ful pur­pose on this earth which is to help, in­spire and mo­ti­vate oth­ers to re­move all lim­its and to step in­to their true po­ten­tial.

At 33 years old, Voisin has done above and be­yond what some have on­ly dreamt of. Be­yond his many strug­gles liv­ing in the US, Voisin was able to twist neg­a­tive sit­u­a­tions in­to some­thing ex­treme­ly pos­i­tive and utilised it to push him in­to new and high­er places in his life. He main­tains a strong and very re­al­is­tic faith in God.

Go af­ter your dreams

Voisin is many things in one. He is a son, broth­er, fa­ther, fit­ness train­er, in­spi­ra­tional/mo­ti­va­tion­al coach, nu­tri­tion­ist, au­thor and mod­el. He is the first Caribbean male fit­ness mod­el to ap­pear on the cov­er of an in­ter­na­tion­al­ly sold mag­a­zine, which is Krave mag­a­zine, just to name one of the many pub­li­ca­tions he has ap­peared on. He has made ap­pear­ances on mu­sic videos such as I Ain't Hear­ing you by Ang­ie Stone, and Worst Case Sce­nario by Joe. He has ad­vised and trained top celebri­ties such as Chili from TLC, Q from 112, and CNN An­chor Don Lemon.

Voisin's per­son­al mes­sage to Trin­bag­o­ni­ans out there who be­lieve they are called for some­thing greater is to be­lieve in your­self, and pur­sue and go af­ter your dreams; there is no lim­it to what you can ac­com­plish; it may not be easy but life is too short not to go af­ter your pas­sion. As for Voisin, the jour­ney con­tin­ues. You can vis­it his Web site at www.gav­fit­ness.com and find him on Face­book.

This week I have cho­sen to write about an ex­cep­tion­al hu­man be­ing, a man of the soil of T&T, to en­cour­age and mo­ti­vate you, the read­er, to ex­cel and go be­yond your present cir­cum­stance, press and push af­ter your dreams. It is im­por­tant that we all know that we can ... Look out for more ar­ti­cles in the com­ing weeks fea­tur­ing oth­er Trin­ba­go-born men and women who, like Voisin, have made a strong de­ci­sion to tru­ly live their dreams and true pur­pose. I com­mend you, Garth Voisin. Con­tin­ue do­ing what youhave been do­ing. You are def­i­nite­ly a bless­ing. Be blessed and tru­ly en­joy the jour­ney!
