6 Qualities of Forgiveness You Need Now
Forgiveness isn’t something that’s “one and done” but a constant unfolding, a wake up and try, try again, and in the words of Winston Churchill, something upon which we must “Never, never, never, never give up.”

There are heaps of stories about a lack of forgiveness — that is more the norm than not, and rather than study the seven habits of a forgiving person, a focus is needed on forgiveness as a function of community.
