I think for me the important part of the virtue of modesty is being comfortable with who I am. I appreciate all the things that I have accomplished in my life. I want to continue doing my crafts which I find very relaxing. I would like to acknowledge my virtuous husband who has contributed to the success I have made with my life. I am grateful for the people around me who support me in what I do. Thank you.
“Modesty is a sense of quiet confidence and self-respect, which allows us to enjoy our accomplishments without inflating our self-importance. We have no need to brag or attract attention. We know we are worthy just as we are. We have a sense of respectful privacy about our bodies. We have reasonable expectations of ourselves. We resist the drive to overdo. Modesty allows us to accept praise with gratitude. We have no need to raise ourselves above others. We share the glory. We are grateful for the gifts we have, and we honor the gifts that others have too.”
When I practice Modesty, I:
- am comfortable being who I am
- have no need to exaggerate my importance
- treat my body with respect
- refuse to overdo
- share credit for success
- am simply grateful for my accomplishments.
