Michael’s nuggets of wisdom
“The suffering is the free will, whether you choose to suffer or not in any situation”
“Yoga gave me the tools I needed to get off the couch and to look at my life and find space to examine who I was as a person”
“When I eat healthy and I have a clean diet, I feel better about who I am as a person”
“Politics, religions, you name it, is an easier conversation to have than when I talk to people about food”
“The food you eat here, affects how somebody else lives down their street”
“Our easiest change is to start with ourselves. The easiest way to start is through diet. It’s the simplest way to change the world”
“If you don’t feel good about your self, and if you don’t feel like you’re moving forward in life, than you’re not going to care about the food you eat. Food is comfort”
“If we’re not growing as an individual, then we’re dying as a person”
“You have to look at your life and say, it’s about how I lived my life today”
“The music that we listen to, the tv that we watch, the books that we read and the food that we eat, that is who we become”
