@officialtristynlee: Turned pain into passion and never looked back. ❤️🩹 (first day in London) So much of what made me fall in love with bodybuilding was feelings of inadaquacy in some regard. Too small for football, too weak to compete, the only way I’d succeed was by turning that pain I felt into passion and moving towards my goals. It was never about proving others wrong, it was about making my work so undeniable there would be no plausible way I’d not reach my goal (whatever that was at the time). You may not choose your circumstances, but you certainly choose how you respond to them. Lifting is simply a metaphor for the work you put into everything. It’s a mirror, both literally and figuratively. The more you put in the more you get out.
