Nothing Changes Until You Do

People tend to be hesitant and afraid to do sacrifices and changes in their lives. Some of them were able to start the process or even in the middle of it but eventually stopped for some reasons.

I used to be one of them. I was once hesitant. I was once afraid. The realization for change started years ago but it was only last year that I decided to go for it. I must say it was really difficult (dieting, exercising) at first, and in the middle of the process it was quite disappointing considering the fact that my body has already adjusted to what I was doing which gave me a slow progress. However, the last part of the process was the most satisfying and rewarding. Sacrifices finally paid off and every bit of it was worth it.

I started. I did not quit. I succeeded!

Now, I am totally changed, I am totally different. I am no longer the person who looked like an inflated balloon. My fats are gone and I looked fit. It did not only changed the way I look but also the way I feel about myself; I gained more self-confidence and self-trust. I actually see life differently now; the life that I used to think that was dark and hopeless has transformed into something very bright and full of hope.

Most people would say that life is difficult and I agree to them. However, life has choices an these will make life easier for everyone to live. What I am trying to imply is that when you think that there is something wrong with your life, do not hesitate and do not be afraid to change it. Do not think of the sacrifices you might be experiencing along the process, but always think of the outcome it will bring. Let's just say you will be sacrificing for a couple of months, but after that sacrifice you will be enjoying its result for the rest of your life.
