\"\"“Do all things in moderation,” is a mantra we all have heard before–often. But is that truly the right answer? Dan Millman, author of “Way of\u00a0the Peaceful Warrior: A Book that Changes Lives<\/a>” invites us to take a broader view of the parameters of moderation:<\/p>\n

“Moderation? It’s mediocrity, fear, and confusion in disguise. It’s the devil’s dilemma. It’s neither doing nor not doing. It’s the wobbling compromise that makes no one happy. Moderation is for the bland, the apologetic, for the fence-sitters of the world afraid to take a stand. It’s for those afraid to laugh or cry, for those afraid to live or die. Moderation… is lukewarm tea, the devil’s own brew.”<\/p>\n
