• The capacity to forgive
• The ability to love and be loved
• The capacity to be creative and innovative
• The ability to dream and envision a better future
• The capacity to endure pain and life’s difficult or even tragic moments
• The ability to be resilient and try again and again in spite of repeated failures or defeats
