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.
