Virtue of the month

“Modesty is a sense of quiet confidence and self-respect, which allows us to enjoy our accomplishment without inflating our self-importance…”

Practice of Modesty: I am comfortable being who I am. I have no need to exaggerate my importance. I treat my body with respect. I refuse to overdo. I share credit for success. I am simply grateful for my accomplishments. I am thankful for the gift of Modesty. It reminds me that I am enough.
