The photos taken before and after transformations often have the power to leave us speechless. You are able to perceive, thanks to the proximity of two images taken after some time, the sacrifices, the courage, the determination, the willpower that tell the story of what came before and what is now, after.

These 20 photos show you how everything is possible and that with sacrifices made today you can enjoy the results tomorrow.
