Positivity Project:
This week's character strength focus is forgiveness. Forgiveness means you forgive those who have done wrong and you accept that people make mistakes. To quote Mahatma Gandhi, "The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong." Those who demonstrate forgiveness have the ability to move forward after someone has hurt them.
