About This Quote
The greatest gift we can give another person is to make them feel like they are in a safe and secure environment.

The more we do this, the more peace we will have in our lives, which will ultimately bring us closer to our own hearts. If you let others see your true character, they will be able to see the beauty within you and find it within themselves as well.
