When you look at the whole package of energy, the food you eat should match the story you want to live, which means: as fresh as possible, without dullness, repetition, and routine. As colorful as possible, giving delight to the eyes food is a rainbow brought down to earth. As cheerful as possible, maximizing moments of happiness and pleasure.

Every drop of water in an ocean contains the flavor of the whole ocean. So too, every moment in time contains the flavor of eternity, if you could live in that moment, but most people do not live in the moment which is the only time they really have.
Deepak Chopra
Image
Unless we make the change ourselves, nothing is going to change.
Deepak Chopra
Image
If your attention is focused only on the result, then you are no longer in the process. But if you're in the process, then the result is guaranteed.
