Daily Excerpt: Living Well with Chronic Illness (Charnas) - Tae Kwon Do
Excerpt from Living Well with Chronic Illness
Tae Kwon Do
I use the five tenets of Tae Kwon
Do, a Korean martial art, to structure my attitude. The tenets guide the
practice of this sport, but they also offer an elegant template for shaping an
effective attitude. The tenets are as follows:
· courtesy;
· integrity;
· perseverance;
· self-control; and
·
indomitable
spirit.
When you feel you’re in a rut, these five tenets may help
you move toward a better attitude. I’ve kept them framed in my office for over
twenty years as a constant reminder of how I want to think, feel, and behave.
