In tennis, at the end of the day you're a winner or a loser. You know exactly where you stand. . . . I don't need that anymore. I don't need my happiness, my well-being, to be based on winning and losing.
The Dalai Lama once said that every human being has two fundamental desires: to be happy and free of pain. I'm interested both in helping people and myself achieve these and also, in the process, finding out what our full potential is as human beings. In essence, there's so much unconsciousness about how
what we eat and how we live which creates the problems that people face. I see so many sick and suffering people when I go on my lecture tours and, if I can help someone find their way back to a life worth living, that's a good day's work.
