“If you want more, you have to require more from yourself.”

You can’t change other people or (some) conditions; you can change only your reactions to them.

You can’t change what you don’t acknowledge.

First, you’re going to have to stop using food for anything other than nutrition. You cannot continue to use food to celebrate, or as a companion, or for entertainment, or comfort. You cannot medicate yourself, your mood, or pain with food.

In the meantime, let’s agree that what makes a problem big is simply that it’s yours.

These are our neighbours, our co-workers, friends’ children, the problem is closer than you think, but so is the solution.

We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit

At the end of the day, whether or not those people are comfortable with how you’re living your life doesn’t matter. What matters is whether you’re comfortable with it.

The truth doesn’t have versions, it just is.

This is no dress rehearsal.

Life’s managed, not cured.

I love life, but not everything in it. I love people, but not all of them. I love myself, but not everything about me.

Drama and crisis are currency to them because they love the power to make people react. They thrive on a good fight, a good scandal, a good drama.

Awareness without action is worthless.

You’re only lonely if you’re not there for you

If you do different, you will have different. If you begin to require more of yourself, that in and of itself is different.

You cannot be who and what you are unless you have a lifestyle, both internally and externally, that is designed to support that definition of self.
