1.       BE SINCERE
    Talk to the person who offended you. Forgive them for being human. Consider their situation. People might offend you because they are learning and growing.

2.       EXPRESS YOUR FEELINGS
     You might feel sad, angry, resentful or betrayed – express them. Otherwise, they will erupt in another place at the wrong time.

3.       FORGIVE HEARTILY
    Don’t expect an apology or restitution. Have peace of mind. Offer forgiveness even if the person who offended you won’t forgive you in return. Pray for that person instead; don’t let your life being shaped by someone else’s action.

4.       DO IT YOURSELF
   Forgiveness is something you can do for yourself not for someone else. Remember, life is an echo, what you send out- comes back; what you saw - you reap, and what you give - you get.

5.       FORGIVE YOURSELF
     Forgive yourself on what you regret doing and for what you wish you had done. By doing so, it will cleanse your soul from shame and guilt. Remember, you can’t change someone for better by holding grudge on yourself.

6.       HAVE FREEDOM, DON’T HURT YOURSELF
     Holding on to resentment keep you jailed as a victim. Don’t let the sad experience linger on your mind. Take the same as an opportunity to learn and grow. Otherwise, you are at the mercy of the offender.

7.       MAKE THE RIGHT CHOICE
    Forgiveness is possible even in the worst circumstances – have mercy on your offender. You have the right to be happy. The healing choice is yours to make. You have the power to choose between getting better or bitter.

8.       UNDERSTANDS LIFE’S IMPERFECTION
    Life is never perfect and often unfair. We have unique purpose in this planet. Accept life’s inevitable failures. If you find it difficult to forgive, consider that they may be shaped by imperfect community or parenting.

9.       STRENGTHEN YOUR RELATIONSHIP
   Loving relationship is not free from hurts. Strengthen the love in your relationship with forgiveness. Forgiveness opens the door to reconciliation.

10.   BE FIRM LIKE A BAMBOO TREE
      Bend without breaking, be strong enough to withstand the heavy weight of injury but resilient enough to recover.

11.   PAY IT FORWARD
      Recall a moment in your life when you were asking for forgiveness and you were forgiven. Give the person who offended you on what you had received in the past – forgiveness. Remember, forgiveness takes courage and determination.

12.   PRACTICE FORGIVENESS
       Start forgiving in small errands or hurts. Remember MILO’s slogan “Great things starts from small beginnings.”  It may seem useless when you receive no immediate result but give forgiveness enough time.

13.   TIME HEALS EVERYTHING
             Ask yourself this question,
“Will this matter a year from now?”
“Is this situation really as important as I’m making it out to be?”

    Rather than using up your energy feeling angry, sad or resentful, use it instead on important and more productive one.
