Forgiveness.
I have learned a really valuable lesson recently, and I want to share it with you. But first, let me give you an introduction to help you get my point. While at the gym, I ran into an old friend whom I hadn’t seen in quite some time. It must have been years, if I…
Ready.
It’s too late when the game starts. You have to practice. And by practice, I mean practice being a better human being. How do you do that? You do that by taking full responsibility for your trauma and pain, first of all. That is the first step. You start doing that when you stop complaining….
