We're always looking for the Big Love, the Big High, the next Big Thing to happen. We miss what's in front of us.

Most of us spend our lives protecting ourselves from losses that have already happened.

Your relationship to food, no matter how conflicted, is the doorway to freedom.

For some reason, we are truly convinced that if we criticize ourselves, the criticism will lead to change. If we are harsh, we believe we will end up being kind. If we shame ourselves, we believe we end up loving ourselves. It has never been true, not for a moment, that shame leads to love. Only love leads to love.

You already have everything you need to be content. Your real work is to do whatever it takes to realize that.

If you think your job is to fix what is broken, you keep finding more broken places to mend.

I live between fearing doom and wishing for it.
