Leaders are made, they are not born. They are made by hard effort, which is the price which all of us must pay to achieve any goal that is worthwhile.

In the last twenty five years, forgiveness has come to the forefront as a topic of research. A great amount of literature has now been accumulated in this topic (Miller, Worthington, & McDaniel, 2008). There is a great deal of discussion concerning forgiveness and the benefits to individuals and their relationships. Researchers are now gathering data that suggests that true forgiveness is more beneficial for people as opposed to the learning coping skills to deal with the offending parties and the offenses committed (Wade, Worthington, & Haake, 2009). It has been theorized that people gain freedom from past events in their lives through forgiveness (Wade, Worthington, & Haake, 2009). This freedom limits the damage inflicted by the offense in present and future relationships (Wade, Worthington, & Haake, 2009). Further research on forgiveness has shown more potential benefits for the individuals studied. These individuals were reported to have experienced a boon for their physical as well as their mental health (Wade, Worthington, & Haake, 2009). While there is a need for more research into the physical bonuses from forgiveness, it seems at this time there is a positive impact upon individuals who practice forgiveness (Miller, Worthington, & McDaniel, 2008).
