In “Behind the Quote,” hosts Jessica Reyes and Patricia Wu discuss about a timeless quote often attributed to Lao Tzu that emphasizes the power of self-acceptance. Dr. Aziz Gazipura, guest psychologist, breaks down this profound wisdom, exploring why seeking external validation is often a fruitless pursuit while true self-acceptance leads to lasting inner peace.
Dr. Aziz offers practical insights and strategies to help viewers cultivate a healthy sense of self.
Self-acceptance is key to inner peace
Chasing external validation is a losing battle. True fulfillment comes from accepting ourselves as we are.
Embrace the ‘sometimes’
We’re all a mix of strengths and flaws. Accepting this duality allows us to be more forgiving of ourselves.
Be on your own side
Self-compassion and support are the most powerful things we can offer ourselves.
