LEYM ADVICES AND QUERIES: SELF-DISCIPLINE
Simplicity, beauty, and happiness go together if they are a by-product of a concern for something more important than ourselves.--Elise Boulding, My part in the Quaker adventure, p. 21.
Do we center our lives in the awareness of the presence of God so that all things take their rightful place? What most distracts us from God? What are we ready to release so that we can give our attention to what matters most?
Do we regard our possessions as given to us in trust? How freely do we part with them to meet the needs of others? How do we manage our commitments so that over-commitment, worry, and stress do not diminish our integrity?
Do we keep to moderation and simplicity in our daily lives? To what extent do we allow prevailing culture and media to pressure us into buying what we do not need, more than we need, or more than we can afford? How do we recognize when we have enough? Are we mindful to encourage our children toward these values?
