Virtue for May: Forgiveness

Being forgiving is giving someone another chance after they have done something wrong. Everyone makes mistakes. Instead of revenge, make amends. Forgive yourself too. Instead of feeling hopeless after a mistake, decide to act differently and have faith that you can change.

You practice forgiveness when you:
Remember that everyone makes mistakes;
Share your feelings without taking revenge;
Stop giving uncaring people the chance to hurt you;
Accept people without judgement or criticism;
Take responsibility for your own mistakes;
Make amends instead of punishing yourself with guilt.
