All for The Greater Glory of God and In Honor of the Blessed Virgin Mary!
XIII. Quit
Gossiping.
Anticipating evils in the future.
Faultfinding, nagging, and worrying.
Dwelling on fancied slights and wrongs.
Scolding and flying into a passion over trifles.
Thinking that life is a grind and not worth living.
Talking constantly about yourself and your affairs.
Saying unkind things about acquaintances and friends.
Lamenting the past, holding on to disagreeable experiences.
Pitying yourself and bemoaning your lack of opportunities.
Writing letters when the blood is hot, which you may regret later.
Thinking that all the good chances and opportunities are gone by.
Carping and criticising. See the best rather than the worst in others.
Dreaming that you would be happier in some other place or circumstances.
Belittling those whom you envy because you feel that they are superior to yourself.
Dilating on your pains and aches and misfortunes to every one who will listen to you.
Speculating as to what you would do in some one else's place, and do your best in your own.
Gazing idly into the future and dreaming about it, instead of making the most of the present. — London Opinion.
