It might have never occurred to you, but you are an actual time traveler with the tiniest (according to my research on time hopping devices) gadget allowing you to embark on daily time journeys stuffed right in your pocket. Nonsense, you might say, but think of it this way - the closest way to time travel is opening the picture gallery on your smartphone and scrolling through a myriad of images that you've taken over the years. For example, see that cute photo of your dog when he was little? Or maybe a picture of the place that you used to visit? Or how about that selfie from years ago? Now, look at those places and faces today. Truly, these before and after pictures are essentially a tiny journey through time that allows you to see how things used to be and how they are now!
Since it's fun to see other people's experiences with this kind of traveling (or any old thing), we've constructed a fun list full of interesting before and after photos, covering a broad array of topics. From pet snails growing up (Hi, Gary!) to beaches before and after cleanup and people losing weight, we've got all the satisfying changes rounded up in one place. And you know what, I think this kind of time-traveling saves you a lot of hassle, too. There's no need to hunt for magic crystals essential for your device, no need to worry about fuel prices for your DeLorean, or concern yourself about getting stuck in Tudor times if your contraption fails!
Anyway, if the flux of eons is something you enjoy watching, scroll down below for our glorious gallery of before and after photos. Will you see ancient structures in these fun photos? Are there going to be people changing over a lifetime? Maybe some cute pets before and after a walk in a park? A triple yes is due here! So, no more talk - scroll down below to the visual part of our joined time journey, vote for the beautiful photo comparisons you like the most, and don't forget to share this article with your compadres!

Top-level athletes, established business people and basically all successful people have one thing in common—they all set goals. Then, of course, they worked really hard, failed plenty of times, went bankrupt, started believing in themselves again, and little by little, they made progress. That progress turned into achievements that end up on popular media, creating a false impression that they were either born this way or were lucky. While that’s the case for some successful people, others work really hard to get to that goal, whatever that is.

In order to find out why setting goals for ourselves, both big and small, is so important and how it can change our lives, we spoke with Susan Petang, a certified divorce coach and the creator of “The Quiet Zone Coaching,” who teaches women how to stop feeling overwhelmed and start waking up happy in the morning again.
“Even though I spend a lot of time encouraging others to be mindful in the moment, it's still important to set goals and plan for our future,” Susan said and added that “even a Buddhist Monk has to plan out his garden, right?” According to her, the idea is to enjoy and focus on the experience while we're doing it.

“The key framework for determining how we should behave has 3 legs: Values, spiritual beliefs, and purpose. When we decide what our purpose is for the current stage of our life, it helps to create some goals so we can be super effective at staying true to that purpose.”
“For example, if you feel that your purpose at this point in your life is to be supportive to abused children, exactly what does that look like? How can you accomplish that? By setting goals,” Susan explained. In this case, you might want to take some classes in social work, or join forces with an organization that needs help, or teach parents how to manage their stress and anger.
Nobody Picked Her Because She Was The "Ugly" Kitten Of The Litter. Just Look At Her Now!

Mannnnn you just wanted to show off your Bengal. No one on the planet has ever said a Bengal is ugly lmfaoo. I've got one too & they're an expensive & extremely sought after breed. You're not foolin me bud.
Because that type of cat is called a bengal so yes it's half big cat half domesticated cat. That explains the beautiful fur that cat has. I just wanted to tell you my knowledge of that breed of cat

The "ugly" one? My god, that's a beautiful cat. I would've chosen her straight off the bat.
That was in no way an ugly kitten, that was an adorable little bengal puff. I would have snatched up her in a second. All kittens/cats are beautiful.
Same here! 😻💖 I would have not only snatched up that dear sweet little girl kitty, but also would have gently placed her inside my hoodie before taking off with her 😻💖

These are not the same cat. I have two bengals (and these look like bengals); one looks like the one on the top and one looks like the one on the bottom. A silver bengal is not going to turn orange and brown. He has become darker underneath but not orange.
I cannot believe she was thought of as ugly as a kitten...She is the most beautiful little thing I have ever seen x
I do not believe in "ugly" for people nor animals, not anything else in aesthetics, cause that is just a plain point of view.
As the late George Carlin said about some people needing to be "hit repeatedly with a piece of heavy mining equipment" and I would be more than happy to use that on that person (and I am using that word to avoid being censored here) who called her ugly!

Well, if this was the ugly kitten, it must have been a litter of purebred Bengals and yes, for that breed, for that kind of money, this was an ugly kitten. It turned out ok, but not a pricewinner. Also, changing the saturation to make the kitten look bland and the adult have deep colors really helps sell the story.
There is no such thing as an ugly kitten, she is beautiful! I love her spots <3
Do you know the french story "Le Vilain Petit Canard" Exactly the same story ...
Ugly?? I just don't see that. She was a very pretty kitty. Now a beautiful cat. Coloring of coat and eyes are stunning.
She is beautiful,and has always been beautiful. She's purrfect!
Beautiful kitten!! I would have picked it in a heartbeat! I love that fur pattern.
A Bengal is a Bengal. Mine looked a bit dorky as a kitten too. She’s a beauty now
I got 'the ugly kitten' she's not pretty but her personality would melt your heart.
She was not ugly as a kitten. The pattern in her fur is beautiful. Her fur now is so full of color! I would have been happy to be chosen by her.
I would have scooped her up and snuggled her immediately. She's definitely not ugly. I feel like this is one of those posts where it's " becareful who you call ugly " or so people will be more inclined to post to say she's beautiful just like I did lol.
She's not an ugly kitten.....she's absolutely beautiful. I LOVE her spotty coloring.
She looks so majestic on her tree perch, like it's her throne, she's the Queen and knows it!
WHAT! She is NOT ugly! The idiots (and I am using that word to avoid being censored here) are the ones who are UGLY! She is so beautiful 😻💖

“Another reason goals are important is that they provide us with motivation and direction. You're forced to get up and do something because you have this goal. It also helps you focus your attention on the things that are important to you, by asking yourself, ‘Is this going to get me closer to my goal?’” Susan believes that if your answer is “no,” then you just don’t do it.

Moreover, it's super frustrating to feel like you just exist. “But if we have a reason to be doing what we're doing, goals (as we were just saying before) provide motivation. It's great when we can say to ourselves, "I have a reason to be here! Look what I'm doing!’” Susan explained that “having goals provides some existential validation (the reason you're here in the first place) and builds self-confidence and self-esteem, too!”

How It Started vs. How Its Going
Few things in life are more satisfying than saying to yourself ‘Look at the great job I did! I'm so proud of myself for accomplishing this!’
On the other hand, Susan reminds everyone that even if you fail and don't achieve your goal, you can still turn it into a self-confidence booster. “Maybe I didn't get there this time, but I know what I did wrong. And I'm a bad-ass for working so hard!” It always feels good to have a goal and work toward it. And isn't that what we all want—to feel good?

On the other hand, it may be really hard to commit to your goal or resolution. But the best way to keep yourself on track of your progress is to break your goal down into bite-sized pieces. “For example, if your goal is to get a medical degree so you can be an amazing doctor, don't make 'Become a Doctor' your goal. The first goal might be, 'Enroll in Community College,' or if you're really intimidated by the process, start with, 'Fill out the application form,'" Susan said.

She continued: “Break your goals down into small enough tasks that the goal isn't some huge honkin' overwhelming thing—it's just a series of tiny steps that you schedule into every day, or every week. Every time you accomplish one of those steps, pat yourself on the back, give yourself a round of applause, and say, ‘I'm a bad-ass because I got that done.’” Before you know it, you'll have achieved your goal and will be ready to set another one!

This was a great post - I love long posts if they are interesting and this was. A couple repeats from other BP posts, but that's hard to catch and really doesn't matter. Nice work! (PS: This was much nicer than some of the provocative and negative stuff that sometimes proliferates on BP.)
