TDDT:Do I show all of my divine qualities?

In the primordial realm, spirit sons and daughters knew and worshipped God as their Eternal Father and accepted His plan by which His children could obtain a physical body and gain earthly experience to progress toward perfection and ultimately realize their divine destiny as heirs of eternal life. The divine plan of happiness enables family relationships to be perpetuated beyond the grave. Sacred ordinances and covenants available in holy temples make it possible for individuals to return to the presence of God and for families to be united eternally.
-Family Proclamation to the World

This means that we are all children of god so we all have divine qualities.

Some of the words in 2 Peter 1 are:
Servant, apostle, righteousness, knowledge, godliness, diligence, virtue, temperance, patience, kindness, charity.
These are all divine qualities that we should show.


23 And now I would that ye should be Humble, and be  submissive and gentle; easy to be entreated; full of patience and long-suffering; being temperate in all things; being diligent in keeping the commandments of God at all times; asking for whatsoever things ye stand in need, both spiritual and temporal; always returning thanks unto God for whatsoever things ye do receive.
24 And see that ye have Faith, hope, and charity, and then ye will always abound in good works.
-Alma 7:23-24
 
45 Let thy Bowles also be full of charity towards all men, and to the household of faith, and let virtue garnish thy thoughts unceasingly; then shall thy confidence wax strong in the Presence of God; and the doctrine of the priesthood shall distill upon thy soul as the dews from heaven.
-D&C 121:45

We can develop these qualities one by one. We can serve well and keep the commandments to develop these Divine qualities.
