走近百大冠军96期Wendy：克服挫折后，你会获得信心…面对夺冠，我并没有沉溺于成功的喜悦。我想起了我整个人生都在为健美而奋斗，我很高兴站在健美舞台上，用我健美旅程来激励他人。
这不是假惺惺（如果你知道我，你知道我的打从心底的！）我可以从经验中看到了自己的坚韧，在我生命中最艰难的一年（生病了），面对不可预知的困难，我总感觉内心有股力量在支撑着我。
这张照片是我最好的舞台表演之一。2014年我在芝加哥的职业比赛中的完美发挥，这是我最最难忘的时刻。人们不知道的是，就在这一周前，我患上了一个可怕的生理顽疾。我的体重增加了很多，而且我的状态比非赛季还要糟糕。
比赛临近，我从来不曾面对过这样大的挑战，所以我不得不硬着头皮克服这个挑战。我不知道这是否可行，但我知道如果我放弃我会后悔的。我专注于我能够控制的，最终我成功克服了！
当下的我是史无前例的，所以，“赢”是建立在一切“错误”之上的经验，并推动我成为最好的我。当我再接再厉，这次的经验我将收入囊中，我可以告诉你，在我不打算放弃的时候，我就做好了迎接更多困难的准备。
正是这次的经历让我充满信心。我不想老生常谈：“失败”是必要的或是成功旅行的一部分。世界上没有什么事情时完美的，困难来了你就去挑战。
当事情变得困难或不可能时，我们不能放弃自己。我们发现随着时间的推移，奖杯、奖品、赞誉只是过眼云烟。我们必须建立对自己的信任、适应力和对自己能力的信心。
信心不是建立在完美的境遇之下。它是通过克服不完美的境遇而建立起来的。
You gain confidence after overcoming setbacks... Not by reflecting on moments of perfection I feel so connected to the journey l have personally experienced over the span of nearly a lifetime of competing, and I feel so happy to be standing here able touse that journey to lift up others. That is not cheesy (if youknow me, you know that I mean that from the bottom ofmy heart!! ) What I can say from experience, and given the fact that this has been one of the toughest years of mylife (behind the scenes), is that I feel a sense of calm andcomfort in being able to push forward despite anyunforeseen obstacles.
This photo is a throwback to one of my best stage performances. I was at my all-time best at this moment in 2014 at the Chicago Pro...
What people didn't know, was that just one week prior, I was suffering with a horrendous bout of endometriosis. I was up a lot in weight, and my inflammation made me look worse than off-season (at justone week out).
I had never overcome this challenge so close to a show, so I had to overcome this challenge blindly. I had no idea if it would work out, but I knew thatI would regret giving up. Well, I focused on what I could control, and I OVERCAME that problem!
I was my best ever (at that timeO).So, the :"win" was the experience of everything going "wrong" and pushing forward to be my best. As I continued, I put that one experience in my collection ofother experiences.. And let me tell you, there have been many more obstacles I have had to overcome as I have not given up on myself in a looooong time.
It is experienceslike this that keep me going with confidence.I'm not trying to push an idea of : "failing"being necessary or a part of one ' s jourmey... It just is. It just is. We simplycannot carry on with everything working out perfectly.
And we cannot give up on ourselves when things seem hard or impossible. We discover over time that the trophies, the prizes, the accolades are not physical objects anymore. We have to build trust in ourselves, resilience,and confidence in our capabilities.
Confidence is not built from perfect circumstances... It is built by overcoming imperfect circumstances.
