You might be interested in the lifestyle of what some call ascetics (and also, 'ecstatics' come to mind, and G!D knows what or who they are, and I do not know. Yes, G!D knows, and I do not know.)

 | |
|     in love of G!D, first and foremost,
 | |
|     then, to love G!D - 
 | |
|     who hath called us to peace,
 | |
|     a peace the world does not give -

|     and to do something like 
 | |
|     loving G!D, that is, to love
 | |
|     the unknown as the you -

 | |
|         <li>what progress or effort did I
 | |
|           make this week?
 | |
|           <i>as it is written in Scriptures:
 | |
|             I saw my co-worker eating and drinking
 | |
|             with drunkards, and I have admonished
 | |
|             him... them... her. 
 | |
|             I have sternly and clearly warned my
 | |
|             co-workers to turn away from
 | |
|             godless chatter, and those who
 | |
|             have opposing ideas with so-called 'knowledge'
 | |
|             or false knowledge - yes, even those
 | |
|             who have spent a large portion of their
 | |
|             [G!D-provided]
 | |
|             lives steeping themselves in false knowledge.
 | |
|             I have warned my co-workers to turn away
 | |
|             from those kinds of people. Also, I have 
 | |
|             pointed out the hypocrispy of people
 | |
|             un-abashedly, without shame, even [the
 | |
|             hypocrispy of] those
 | |
|             who call themselves 'your mother' or '
 | |
|             your friend'
 | |
|             or 'your father'. Does not the tempter who
 | |
|             has the name of Satan in Scriptures (Satan,
 | |
|             Shaitan, also known as Belial) call
 | |
|             himself... herself... themself... the
 | |
|             Angel of Light? So, what does one,
 | |
|             who associates himself or herself with
 | |
|             the Anointed One who calls himself the Son of
 | |
|             Man, (the Christ, in other words)
 | |
|             have to do with the tempter
 | |
|             who calls himself... herself... themself...
 | |
|             the Angel of Light? 
 | |
|             Separate yourself from them.
 | |
|             Come out from among them.
 | |
|             Believers and unbelievers 
 | |
|             were originally unsuitable for each other.
 | |
|             what harmony does the Christ have with
 | |
|             the one who calls himself the Angel of Light:
 | |
|             the tempter?
 | |
|           </i>
 | |
|         </li>
 | |
|         <li>What did I achieve?
 | |
|           <i>I don't care for anything
 | |
|             that the LORD G!D does not give
 | |
|             me. We will be content with
 | |
|             food and drink. (as written in 
 | |
|             Scriptures). Content with
 | |
|             godliness. What did achieve?
 | |
|             G!D forbid that I should glory
 | |
|             in myself, save in the one
 | |
|             eternal sacrifice of the One
 | |
|             who has the Name, Jesus, the 
 | |
|             Christ, through whom 
 | |
|             I am crucified unto the world,
 | |
|             and the world unto me. :-D
 | |
|           </i>
 | |
|           Did I achieve or hit the goal I set last
 | |
|           week or some time ago?
 | |
|           <i>This question I decline answer.
 | |
|             However, what does not work
 | |
|             for me, might help you in G!D-knows-what
 | |
|             you-are-doing-and-I-do-not-know.
 | |
|             Err. Well, I took up a habit of smoking
 | |
|             cigarettes.
 | |
|             With the help of G!D, I have a testimony
 | |
|             that, as surely as the LORD lives, I did not resume
 | |
|             smoking after I decided to stop or quit
 | |
|             the habit. Wow, that makes me feel
 | |
|             really good. Thanks, G!D, for
 | |
|             believing in me, and enabling
 | |
|             me to very joyfully witness your works
 | |
|             in my life, and enabling me to be among
 | |
|             the Believers. to G!D be the glory for-ever
 | |
|             and ever. Amen.
