Transformation takes time. It is not going to happen overnight. If you really want to do it, you must be patient with yourself. And it must be your decision to transform yourself, to transform your life. It is simple, but hard. But with commitment, you can do it.

Do worry about how long it is going to take to transform your life. All you need to do is focus on the process. When it comes to change, process matters. If you want to change yourself, you must focus on the process. You must become process-oriented. And if you have the courage to focus on what you are doing, if you have the courage to focus on the process, you will reach your destiny.

When you change yourself, you change your future. When you get rid of what is holding you back, you are growing yourself. You are giving yourself a new look, a new life, a new body. When you transform yourself, you are investing in your future. Remember, you are not going to grow if you are not willing and ready to endure the pain that comes with change.

Change is not easy, but you can’t avoid it. Do not avoid any opportunity to change yourself. Wherever you find one, take it. Always look for opportunities to change yourself, to learn new things, to do what you haven’t done before, to talk to new people. Do not avoid it. If you avoid an opportunity to add value to yourself, you will never reach your destiny. It is not easy, but you can do it for yourself. And the right time to do it is now.
