Refuse intense ideology. Avoid black and white thinking. Believing blindly in any one extreme is not faith but ignorance. It muddies up the waters of your thinking. Instead, you should constantly challenge your own beliefs. You should treat your beliefs as questions rather than answers. You should be wary of your natural tendency to drift too far in any one direction for with extremism comes a sense of certainty. It is not certain to live without answers. And so extremism is choosing to live with a false sense of certainty. Furthermore, you should be wary of extremists as the mouse is wary of the grinning fox, for extremists are quite persuasive.
