Humility is one of my better traits, but it has to be used in the right context therefore showing people that you are humble. Being humble is a good thing and can also be a bad thing as well. An example of what humility looks like for me and in my life when people give me praise for doing something good I simply take the complement and move on. The only words I utter are usually, "Thanks." or "Thank you", but the reality is I hold on to that complement for the future because it allows me to remember what I've done well with.
Tranquility is one that's been hard for me to understand and grasp. I do believe that has a lot to do with my personality honestly. I'm constantly working on changing that part because there are times when I get disturbed by something that shouldn't draw my focus and yet it does. I can think about days where something little just gets under my skin and there goes my day lol! It's a bit ridiculous honestly because too many days have been trashed by letting the little things get underneath my skin.
If I wanted to keep track of my virtues I'm sure I could, but it's not something that appeals to me simply because I'd rather not know and focus on what's ahead of my days where keeping track could possibly pull my focus off track for that day.
That's one thing that many people have a hard time with, letting the smallest thing get to them. It takes practice and time to get over these little issues sometimes. I understand where you are coming from on this, because I am the same way. You just need to remember that you shouldn't let the smallest things bring you down, and you should go on with your day with a smile on your face, no matter how hard that may seem at the time. So SMILE =)
