Thoughts:

Ability. Behavior. Attitude.

Am I capable of learning what I need to learn?  Even if I eventually prove unable to truly grasp whatever ineffable truths there are, I'm at least better at it now than I was even a few years ago.

Am I acting appropriately, in accordance with Nature? Do I follow the wise path as I navigate through life? Do I stick to my principles? Do I correctly divide between things under my control and indifferents? Do I use this knowledge to behave fittingly toward things?

Am I willing to do my part, or more, to achieve our common goals?  Do I participate in the polity? Or do I expect something for nothing? Even if I'm assured that 'someone else is paying,' I must do my part to make success possible and never expect a free lunch.
