A MEDITATION

“ Preach not to others what they should eat, but eat as becomes you, and be silent.

— Epictetus

Enchiridion 46

If your diet, habits, or discipline are worth anything, other people will notice without the lecture. Preaching is usually the tell that the practice is insecure. Eat well and stay quiet — the example travels further than the sermon.
