Select three attributes from your list and write plans of how you want to improve in each area.

·         Be patient toward all men, when I was in patient, I should remember patience is a virtue, we are all children of God. It may sounds basic, but too often we forget about these truth, and easily we would let Satan in and hear what he say(those negative feelings), if we can recall these truth in those very moments, we would understand that impatience is not from God, and then the mind has to be clear, seek for virtuous principles, beautiful things in life, Godliness, and I believe by following this path,  I can overcome this weakness.

·         Pray all the time, my plan for that is to pray at least twice a day, it helps to improve our relationship with god, invite the spirit come into our life. A long term goal is to really pray often, and in order to achieve this, pray at least twice a day would help us to practice recognizing those things that are worth to pray about, and soon we will be used to this way of thinking, and we will pray all the time.

·         Rejoice, one of the thing that I can improve in this, is appreciate what I am having, or the blessings that I had during the prayer. Sometimes, I do not just feel thankful for the blessings, but even for adversities, and trials.
