Dr. Dean Ornish answered:People are always making choices, sacrifices. The word “sacrifice” has an austere, depriving connotation. But people don’t usually think about that when they put their money aside for their kids’ college or wedding, and so they don’t buy a new car when they could. These choices- what not to do as well as what to do - bring meaning into our lives.

You can enjoy life more fully by making these conscious choices. Instead of resolving to make changes in diet and lifestyle out of a sense of austerity, deprivation, and asceticism, I find it much more effective -and fun - to be motivated by feelings of love, joy, and ecstasy.
