Q9. How would you ask for forgiveness? #GoodMenChat
— The Good Men Project (@GoodMenProject) March 19, 2015
@GoodMenProject #GoodMenChat: A9: Through my actions. I’d show that what I did was wrong, and make an effort to change my behaviour.
— Nicholas Garcia (@nickgarciataria) March 19, 2015
A9 Admit your wrong and your shame at hurting someone. Then go tell the person and ask for forgiveness, then forgive yourself. #GoodMenChat

@iamJoshuaAlade I would actually reverse that order. 1st self, then others. Not being selfish, but it has to start @ the root. #GoodMenChat
