Practice of reasonable and pragmatic faith

The broad cardinal principles that go into successful practice of this kind of faith are the following

1) Accepting the greatness of every human being irrespective of his stature in society unconditionally.
2) Realising and killing vanity and conceit in every form in the mind. Recognise its nature to cause fatigue and distraction.
3) Stop being concerned of other's thoughts and actions and minding one's own. (Because everyone is provided with the equal capacity to take care of oneself)
4) Stop blaming and finding fault in others.
5) Be concious of what one desires and pursues. This includes shedding any after thoughts on incidents that have occured.
6) Stop doubting one's capability under any circumstances. Be patient in circumstances which are unhelpful.

Above all this the mind is the source of all philosophy hence question the mind for answers.

All these proposals for reaonable and pragmatic faith looks fine on blog but in practice it becomes difficult. How does one achieve a successful practice of these proposals?
