Personal Tenets/Code was created by
As Jedi, we of course have the tenets and the guidance of the Order that we strive to follow, but what about personal codes? Do any of you have any specific tenets that you work towards for your own self? I would be interested to see them! Recently, I finalised my own:

-Treat the whole Self as a temple
-Practice kindness, humility and gratitude to others
-Have respect and reverence for all life and nature
-Serve God and dedicate study to the sacred

Basic, perhaps, but they are what is most relevant to my own study. :)
I apologise if something like this has already been posted, or posted in the incorrect sub-forum!

One of the lessons I undertook recently was to write a personal code. Here's the one I came up with:

Self, yet Service
Action, yet Reflection
Belief, yet Embodiment
Change, yet Stillness
All, yet One.

Be things as they are.
Do things as they do.
Know not one but all.
Know not all but one.
Breathe and feel life.
Smile and know joy.
Laugh and know play.
Nothing else matters.

Through chaos, I learn of order
Through order, I learn of emotion
Through emotion, I learn of passion
Through passion, I learn of peace
Through peace, I learn of serenity
Through serenity, I learn of perspective
Through perspective, I learn of knowledge
Through knowledge, I learn of wisdom
Through wisdom, I learn of the force
Through the force, I learn of myself

Build never tare down
Be both teacher and student
Remove blame
My personal life revolves around these three.
I have received and have had a greater impact on my own loved ones.

My experiences may shape me, but they don't define who I am.

I kinda have my own version of the Bushido Code:

Honor
Courage
Kindness
Sincerity
Loyalty
Self-Control
Awareness

although, from time to time I feel like something needs to be added or made more specific. But these are the root of who I aspire to be. If I taught martial arts classes, this is what I would teach my students.

The force is my guide, yet i seek guidance from others
I will always seek the truth, yet know my boundaries
I will never allow my emotions to control me, yet i will always feel
My Wisdom comes from experience, as well as my compassion
Others can teach me, yet i educate myself as much.

This is something i'm working on, thinking about replacing a few lines..
If not this then i go by the jedi creed, wich i like very much.
