Here are a few questions we do well to ask ourselves: Do I lose my temper easily? Do I get blue and sulk when things don't go my way? Do I fuss about simple happenings? Am I a poor loser? Do I have constructive work to do day by day? Do I run away from difficulties? Have I practiced doing things I don't like to do?
