I need more of these two things in all areas of my life. I've been running and running away from the mere thought of exercising discipline in anything, but realized, only recently, that lack of discipline has slowly but certainly sapped out most of the meaning, too. So I decided finally to try it out, starting with prayer. If I can handle that, then maybe I can move on to bigger things like career. And sewing.
Eating, I noticed, and consuming in general, is the one area whose meaning is totally independent of discipline. All you need, it seems, is an uncompromising passion for quality. Cooking, however, is not independent of discipline. If only I could make a career out of consuming.
