These quotes are very useful because it’s easy to forget that change and transformation are possible. It’s easy to feel stuck exactly where you are. 

Our biggest tip when working on a big transformation, whether it be to do with fitness, health, career or relationships, is look at it one step at a time. Instead of focusing on the end result and noticing how far you have to go, simply focus on your next step, then your next step and so on.
