How do we control our energy so that we can maintain this?” "Usually, if you're really fighting it, there's one thing in there you can't accept or you haven't figured out the benefit of, and that one missing piece will break down the whole system." "When you've been hungry and all of a sudden you're given a chocolate cake, eat the whole chocolate cake all at once, and then you wonder why you feel horrible."
