Having healthy habits is an act of resistance against all the companies that want to make money off of making you ill.

These epidemics are social problems. The turmoil in us is a reflection of the turmoil in our society.

The concept of a “victim mentality” is abusive when it becomes an excuse to blame victims.

Don’t let your own personal challenges, obstacles, and struggles get in the way of giving what you have to give to the rest of the world.
