Are you impoverished?

"We are not here merely to make a living. We are here to enrich the world, and we impoverish ourselves if we forget this errand.

- Woodrow Wilson

I love the language of this quote. Often when we impoverish ourselves in one area of life, we may feel empty or hungry . . . filled with yearning. Could this then be a reason we are subconsciously reaching for food or engaging in any other addictive behavior? If so, how can any diet ever fill the void that first needs to be filled by loving ourselves enough to give our full contribution to the world?
