10 Ways

10 ways I try to live:

  1. Name my fears and face them.
  2. Know my appetites and control them.
  3. Be neither a cheapskate nor a spendthrift.
  4. Give as much as I can.
  5. Focus more on the transcendent; disregard the trivial.
  6. My true strength is a controlled temper.
  7. Never lie, especially to myself.
  8. Stop struggling for my fair share.
  9. Forgive others, and forbear their weaknesses.
  10. Define my morality; live up to it, even in private.
