Deeply peaceful people radiate a confidence that emanates from a sense of wholeness. They don’t feel the need to prove their worth or recount their accomplishments. They already believe in themselves. Their self-image doesn’t depend on favorably out-competing others or collecting external admiration. We can all create that inner peace and satisfaction by cultivating self-acceptance. It takes a determined focus to quell the inner critic and stop measuring our worth through comparison. When we accept ourselves regardless of performance, we experience something far superior to anything that fleeting external approval could ever provide… 

Freedom.
