Imagine drinking a cup of tea with your family without attempting in any way to get love, approval, or appreciation. This holiday, bring your own love, approval and appreciation!
You invite inner peace when you stop trying to force yourself either to change your relatives or to think of them as sane. Allow them to just BE. Allow yourself to just BE. When you acknowledge your own value, you'll also see more value in others just as they are. By giving yourself the gift of unconditional acceptance you thought you needed from your family, you will find true freedom.
Based on Byron Katie's writings.
