Humility

Let’s look briefly at the 2^nd Tenet of Taekwondo:  Humility.

This is the personal strength we apply when we carefully and honestly assess our own abilities and achievements.  Humility is keeping these in accurate perspective – we don’t overestimate or underestimate ourselves. We’re able to acknowledge our mistakes and limitations – but also our achievements and our strengths.  We also recognize and appreciate the value of other people, and the many different ways they contribute to our lives and our accomplishments. 

Other words for this personal strength are:  down-to-earth, modest, unpretentious, humble, and level-headed. 

We’re seeking to recognize, understand and develop Humility as our own personal strength in our lessons together.
