"...winners get in their own way less. They interfere with the raw expression of talent less. And to do that, first they win the war against fear, against doubt, against insecurity—which are no minor victories...”

And while I'm ranting, it really ticks me off that no one is calling Elizabeth Gilbert out on the fact that she already had a book proposal (and advance) in hand *before* she embarked on her life-changing journey.  I'm sorry, but it really makes the entire plot suspect.  How convenient that she managed to find herself via yoga...in the course of a month.  And how perfectly wonderful that she fell in love in Bali.  Makes for a pretty perfect happy ending to her book, no?
