Having a quiet morning. Coffee, yogurt, and roast chicken for dinner. Will have salad for lunch and bought some mixed nuts if I want a snack. Trying to frame eating well as something I can do for myself instead of a restriction for me to rebel against. We shall see if the irrational passionate me can be corralled by my intellect and soothed by spiritual meditations...

The greatest achievement is selflessness.
The greatest worth is self-mastery.
The greatest quality is seeking to serve others.
The greatest precept is continual awareness.
The greatest medicine is the emptiness of everything.
The greatest action is not conforming with the worlds ways.
The greatest magic is transmuting the passions.
The greatest generosity is non-attachment.
The greatest goodness is a peaceful mind.
The greatest patience is humility.
The greatest effort is not concerned with results.
The greatest meditation is a mind that lets go.
The greatest wisdom is seeing through appearances.
