"If we are not peaceful, if we are not feeling well in our skin, we cannot demonstrate real peace, and we cannot raise our children well either." - Thich Nhat Hanh
Real peace begins with inner peace. Inner peace is built upon self-acceptance. Unhappy people need constant reassurance that they are accepted, whereas happy people are grounded in self-acceptance. Self-acceptance embraces both pride in oneself and humbleness in relation to the world. Self-acceptance improves our relationships with others, including her children.
