4 Pillars of the Choose Love Program
Courage
To be BRAVE and work through your fears even when you are scared, embarrassed, or uncertain.
Gratitude
When you are THANKFUL, even when times seem hard and you want to share that feeling with someone.
Forgiveness
is when you choose to stop feeling angry with someone, and decide not to act in a negative or harmful way toward that person.
Let go of your anger!
Compassion in Action
Is when someone understands how another person is feeling and wants to take away or help with that person’s suffering.
