A Favorite Quote

This is one of my favorite quotes. It's from the book Eragon. I came across it one day and thought of losing weight while reading it. This is why there is no magic pill.


Eragon -
"Master."
"Yes Eragon?"
"Why must I endure this torture? You could use magic to give me the skills I need, to shape my body as you do the trees and plants."
"I could, but if I did, you would not understand how you got the body you had, your own abilities, nor how to maintain them. No shortcuts exist for the path you walk, Eragon."

I love it! Thank you! I think we will love ourselves more in the end knowing all the hard work we've put in and how far we've come =)

Translation...there are no pills, potions, powders, etc that will get you where you want to be. The only recipe is hard work, sweat, and a healthy diet. PERIOD! Great post.

Then you don't have the right tools yet. We all need different tools. Just to find them and what works is the trick. Don't give up until you find them. :oD
