The Five Tenets of Tae Kwon Do: Self-Control

Maintain the Control to Live Within Your World
"Sometimes we have to demonstrate a lot of self-control to stay on our path. No matter what path you decide to follow, stick with it. It takes a lot of discipline to follow your heart, dream, or goal. Many times you will be side-tracked find your way back (persevere) and continue on. We use self-control in many ways, both physically and spiritually. Be the master of yourself, patiently. Don't let anyone have control over you. He who angers you, controls you. Always work at accepting yourself! Control your thoughts, choices, and actions."
