"...the secret of the easy yoke involves living as Jesus did in the entirety of his life—adopting his overall lifestyle. Following ‘in his steps’ cannot be equated with behaving as he did ‘on the spot’. To live as Christ lived is to live as he did all his life...The secret of the easy yoke, then, is to learn from Christ how to live our total lives, how to invest all our time and energies of mind and body as he did."

That part of Spirit of the Disciplines was a real eye-opener for me. (Not that I've successfully put that into practice, however.)
