Because it's one thing to say you want to climb a mountain; it's another thing entirely to pull your weight up a sheer cliff face, inch by agonizing inch, and feel the rough stone under your fingers and the ache in your hands, wrists, and shoulders.
Nothing worth doing is easy — even if you're the only one who thinks it's worth doing. In fact, that might be the tougher thing, believing in the worthiness of a goal when nobody else does.
Which brings us to Aleira Avendano. Say what you will, you can't suggest she lacks drive, determination, and dedication.
How far would you go to achieve your dream? COMMENT and let us know!
At just 26 years-old, Venezuelan model Aleira Avendano has already gone under the knife more than 20 times in search of the perfect body.
She's had two nose jobs, four boob jobs, gastric bypass surgery, and butt implants, among other operations.
She had her first breast enhancement when she was 19.
Her permanent transformation comes after years of wearing a corset to achieve an hourglass figure.
Now she has a 20-inch waist — and some crushed ribs to accompany it.
Aleira's startling body alterations are on full display on her Instagram accounts.
Yes, she has multiple accounts to provide her half-million followers with an almost constant stream of chest-centered selfies.
And followers and the accompanying fame are what it's all about for Aleira.

"Social media is the best way to get ahead for a model today and I love to post pictures of my amazing body online," she told the Daily Mail.
"I want to get as many followers as possible. The world needs to see my body."
Some of the more extreme measures she has taken include a forehead lift for her arched eyebrows, a neck elongation, and having her teeth removed and replaced with dentures for a perfect smile.
But she is achieving her goals. Not only does she have all those Instagram followers, but she has also appeared in Mexican Playboy, and she has traveled the world showing off the body she paid good money, pain, and recovery time for.
Even after so many surgeries, Aleira is still willing to have more to achieve her goals.
"I'm not worried about going under the knife," she said. "I will have whatever kind of surgery that makes me feel better about my body."
