Parenting Advice From Tillich
Posted By Daisy on December 30, 2010
This is one of my absolute favorite quotes. It is brutally honest, yet compassionate – the precise mix we all need to apply to ourselves (and those around us, too). We may not be the elusive “perfect” parent that we want for our children, but we’ve got to keep moving forward in the face of that, doing the best that we can. A good goal for a new year.
“The courage to be is the courage to accept oneself, in spite of being unacceptable.”
– Paul Tillich
