Forgiveness is the intentional and voluntary process by which a victim undergoes a change in feelings and attitude regarding an offense, lets go of negative emotions such as vengefulness, with an increased ability to wish the offender well.

A sample scenario:  Grace has been doing her job for three years. She’s an experienced employee and rarely has to ask for help. Her boss has assigned her additional projects, and she’s felt proud to have completed them successfully. She’s also filled in for the boss when he’s been on vacation. Grace works well with her team members and feels they respect her…all except Kyle, the team know-it-all. She’s about had it up to her eyeballs with Kyle, whose superior attitude and desire to treat others as though they don’t know how to do their jobs has gotten to her. She’s talked to a couple of her coworkers about it, and they feel the same.  Know-it-alls think they know everything. They feel superior, are dismissive of others’ opinions, are unwilling to listen to others, and love to tell others how to do their job. Know-it-alls like to hear themselves talk. This behavior may become so ingrained that it becomes part of the know-...

Most people say the youngest child has it the easiest. They’re the spoiled ones who can’t do anything wrong, after all. But if you’re the youngest, like me, you’ll know that’s not true. Often it’s actually the opposite. We’re the ones who have it the hardest. Generally speaking, the oldest child is usually the boss, the planner, the leader. They’re born with that natural instinct to lead and to find out about stuff, whether it be organising a holiday trip or asking a stranger how to get to the supermarket. They’re the ones the parents turn to when they need something done. They’re usually more confident, more responsible, more stubborn and more opinionated. This is called the Oldest Child Syndrome, and my older sister is a perfect example. The middle child is usually referred to as the “odd” one. Well, the theory is that the middle child can’t beat their older sibling in authority and they ca...

That looks like a sober man, I think I'll hire him to cut wood for me." That was said of a man on the streets of Lake Rice, Canada, as he walked along carrying a wood saw and a sawhorse. The response from a man nearby was, "That's Joseph Scriven. He wouldn't cut wood for you because you can afford to hire him. He only cuts wood for those who don't have money enough to pay." That seemed to be the philosophy and attitude of Scriven, a devoted member of the Plymouth Brethren Church. He had a sincere desire to help those who were truly destitute. Joseph was born on Sept. 10, 1819, in Ireland. His parents had financial means enough to afford a wonderful educational opportunity for their son. He was enrolled in Trinity College in Dublin where he graduated with a bachelor's degree. In this young man, Ireland had the prospect of a great citizen with high ideals and notable aspirations. He fell in love with a young lady who was eager to spend her life with ...

A lot of people have started to say “Become yourself” and “Be you”. Which is nice in essence but most of us do not know how to go about doing it. We already thought we were being ourselves! We already believed that we were us. So what’s with all these people telling us to be who we are? The reason people tell you that is simple: Right now you are trying too hard to be someone you’re not. How many times a day do you lie to people you care about? How often do you not say what you want to say? How frequently do you stop yourself from acting a certain way? And how much do you try to be someone better and greater than you currently are? All of these are signs that you are not being yourself, that you are trying too hard to be someone else. When you are truly yourself you will have no need to lie. You will be able to say what you want, and you will do not have to stop yourself from acting a certain way. Becoming better or greater can still be part of yo...

There are times when fear feels like respect but the long and short of it is that they are not both the same thing. You don't believe me. Well why not ask legendary Chinese General, master of warfare and author of the blueprint of modern warfare, the art of war. Sun Tzu. This is most probably one of my favourite quotes of all time and it has always resonated with me. Regard your soldiers as your children, and they will follow you into the deepest valleys; look upon them as your own beloved sons, and they will stand by you even unto death. If, however, you are indulgent, but unable to make your authority felt; kind-hearted, but unable to enforce your commands; and incapable, moreover, of quelling disorder: then your soldiers must be likened to spoilt children; they are useless for any practical purpose. Bestow rewards without regard to rule, issue orders without regard to previous arrangements; and you will be able to handle a whole army as though you had to do with but a single...

Simple, it is having a friend whom you would like to be more than just friends with, but they don’t. So, what they’d do is FRIEND ZONE you! As in, s/he would tell you things that would point to the fact that they’re not interested in you. Still a bit lost? Don’t worry! I Have many examples to make this topic clearer for you. So next time you’re being friend zoned, don’t embarrass yourself any further and show that ‘always a friend, never a boy/girlfriend’ what they’re missing. So, without stalling, here are the most famous friend-zoning hints your ‘I just wanna be friends’ would give you. Or maybe you could use (Although, I feel sorry for that other person.) : To avoid repetition, let’s assume that you are the friend zonee (the victim). 1-Reminding you that you are just a friend: You are such a good friend!You are my best friend!You’ll ALWAYS be my friend!Best FRIEND FOREVER!!You’re like my brother/...
