21 Habits of Happy People
16. Love Unconditionally - “Accept others for who they are. You don’t put limitations on your love. Even though you may not always like the actions of your loved ones – you continue to love them.”
Now that we are three quarters of the way through our happy habits list we need to remember that we are meant to go deeply into our process. Loving unconditionally is certainly an item that invites us to dig below the surface to discover all that is really there.
Once before when I wrote about unconditional love I had someone ask how do you make the other person understand this. It is a valid question but its pertinence reveals the very unconditionality of the inquirer. “What the heck is she saying?” you ask? Well unconditional means you give love. Period. No conditions or strings attached. Not you give so that you get... fill in the blank. First of all that isn’t giving is it? It is bartering, maybe negotiating, but not giving and certainly not loving. Anyone who is in a loving relationship today understands this. You don’t need a back door when you are offering your heart unconditionally. I also feel unconditional love is packaged with respect. And like I have said sooooooooo many times before, we must love ourselves this way before we can love any one else unconditionally.
By the way that last sentence is not a condition, it is a fact. You can not offer to anyone else what you are not willing to extend to yourself. Accept yourself for who you are and offer yourself limitless love. Then reach out and change your world.
Namaste!
