1. Did I make myself useful today?
2. Did I take care of myself today and avoid burdening anyone with my cares and troubles?
3. Were I to meet the living Jesus or Buddha at day's end, would I feel ashamed of my conduct
during the day, or could I meet his gaze with the inner knowledge that I emulated his
teachings to the very best of my ability?
live free - live well - live with integrity - live with kindness - be average but with
self-discipline

integrity
austerity
