Giving is the one
kind of love you can count on, because you can always choose it: it's always within your power to give.
Giving in high
school predicts good physical and mental health all the way into late
adulthood.
Teens who volunteer
make healthier life choices.
Forgiving others
improves health more than being forgiven.
Our first response
to harm is to protect ourselves, seek safety, and find ways to conserve our
well-being. Anger, fear, hurt, and
resentment are actually emotional coping techniques that help us do just that.
Understand
forgiveness as a form of enlightened self-interest, a gift that you give
yourself by learning whatever good lessons you can from an event.
Apologies heal
because they restore self-respect and dignity for both individuals.
Marriage can
flourish only if we are giving.
