- They take for granted the joy of giving. Not only will an unselfish act bring joy to others, but the giver will receive joy as well.
- They have unrenewed thinking. We're all born naturally selfish, but that doesn't mean we must stay that way. We need to put selfless thoughts in and selfish thoughts out.
