Try This Prescription for Growth

Do you want to grow as a person? Try this: Go to someone you don’t like or someone that you have recently gossiped about and confess your negative feelings or confess that you have gossiped and then tell the person you are sorry and ask for his/her forgiveness. Then do this: GRACIOUSLY ACCEPT whatever response you get from the person.

Biblical values: humility, honesty, courage, relational integrity.

NOTE:  There is an additional benefit to this advice.  There is a strong possibility that if you do what this post advises, you will provide the person you apologize to with a profound growth experience, as well.  It’s likely he/she will be shocked to encounter such humble honesty.
