As we develop new beliefs about who we are, our behavior will change to support the new identity.

Why not make cheerfulness, outrageousness, playfulness a new priority for yourself? Make feeling good your expectation. You don't have to have a reason to feel good - you're alive; you can feel good for no reason at all!

Most people aren't really happy, but they aren't unhappy enough to do anything about it. That's a dangerous place to be.

It's pretty simple - The Action you take will determine the results you Achieve.

Sometimes, not getting what you want can be the most valuable experience of your entire life.

You must find a more empowering source of comfort, connection, and control than food. Perhaps a creative outlet, helping others, becoming active in an organization, whatever.

Live life fully while you're here. Experience everything. Take care of yourself and your friends. Have fun, be crazy, be weird. Go out and screw up! You're going to anyway, so you might as well enjoy the process. Take the opportunity to learn from your mistakes: find the cause of your problem and eliminate it. Don't try to be perfect; just be an excellent example of being human.
