What principles define how you live?

View all responses

My guiding principles for daily living come from the virtues outlined in Galatians 5:22-23:

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control.

I try to end my day reflecting on how they virtues guided me. How well did I live by them? Where did I fall short? How can I do better tomorrow?

In addition, I also try to live by the shortened version of the Serenity Prayer:

“God grant me the Serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.”
