“When I was going through some of my hardest times, it would have felt easier to give in to quick fixes like smoking, alcohol or drugs. Rather than self-medicate, I chose to self-motivate. I took action. I went to my spiritual side for help, studying and practicing Buddhism, which made me strong. And I sought to make my body healthier be researching the best nourishment,a plant-based diet, and holistic remedies. I chose self-improvement, even if it seemed like the harder path.”
(Tina Turner, Happiness Becomes You, p. 119 )
