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.
