be out of work, and your heart’ll be making all the decisions. So your ego’s fighting for its life,
playing with your mind, trying to assert its authority, trying to keep you cornered off in a hold-
ing pen away from the rest of the universe. Don’t listen to it.”
“How do you not listen to it?”
“Ever try to take a toy away from a toddler? They don’t like that, do they? They start kick-
ing and screaming. Best way to take a toy away from a toddler is distract the kid, give him
something else to play with. Divert his attention. Instead of trying to forcefully take thoughts
out of your mind, give your mind something better to play with. Something healthier.”
“Like what?”
“Like love, Groceries. Like pure divine love.”
Eat, Pray, Love
