You are in your own hands

"Believing in your innate ability to achieve is the key to changing your body... there is nothing that we cannot achieve if we put our minds to it, and this is especially true when we are speaking about our own bodies. We spend the majority of our lives trying to influence external forces over which we have little or no control, when the very thing over which we have complete control is literally beneath our own noses.

In Pilates, as well as in life, there is nothing that will work for you that you do not make work for you. There is no good fairy who will come to you in the night and transform your body for you. The physical and mental commitment you must make to achieve your goal is the most important step in the process of change."

P.11-12, The Pilates Body, Brooke Siler
