To Love Unconditionally

Love is unconditional. The word “unconditional” means that there are no expectations or limitations set.

To love unconditionally is a difficult thing, and most humans aren’t good at that. But true love really does love without trying to change the other person. Love means putting other people’s needs equal to — or before — your own.

Love is the highest vibration emotion that there is.

Science has proven that emotions like love and fear have very different vibrations. They can actually measure them.

Love vibrates very fast, whereas fear-based emotions (think jealousy, possessiveness, hatred, greed, etc.) vibrate very slowly.

When you love completely and unconditionally, there is no fear involved. The vibrations of love make you feel good at all times.

Love requires attention.

Love doesn’t ignore.

It doesn’t look the other way.

It wants to be present and be together. When people are in love, sometimes they think that they don’t have to “do any more work.” But real love actually enjoys giving attention to another person. It feels good, and doesn’t see giving attention to another person as a chore.

Love understands and accepts differences.

Let’s face it: We’re all different. Even identical twins aren’t exactly the same. They have different experiences and outlooks about the world.

Real love doesn’t make other people wrong for being different. When people truly love another person, they accept their differences.

Love varies in how it is expressed and accepted.

What makes us “feel loved” varies.

Words

Acts of Service,

Giving Gifts

Spending Time Together and

 Touch.

 It’s important to discover other people’s love language so you can understand each other and give love in a way that the other person recognizes it.

Love makes you feel good, not bad.

Many people confuse being in a relationship with love. Just because you’re in a relationship doesn’t mean there is true love present.

If there is jealousy, possessiveness, constant fighting, abuse (verbal, emotional or physical), that is not love. Those are fear-based emotions and actions.

Love has empathy.

Empathy is the ability to put yourself into another person’s shoes and see a situation from his/her point of view.

Love has deep empathy. “When you hurt, I hurt.” People who truly love one another don’t want to hurt them. They want them to feel good. They care about their feelings and try everything they can to make them feel valued and worthy.

Remember, love is happiness, appreciation and feeling good. Anything other than that is not love. If we all loved one another as ourselves, the world would be a better place!

Thank you …While people may be inherently selfish for survival purposes, this does not serve us well in relationships. If you don’t put other people’s needs at least equal to your own, they will grow resentful. Real love truly, genuinely cares about other people’s happiness and will go to great lengths to make people feel valued.

Humans tend to be addicted to intense emotion — especially when it feels good. So, when we’re in love, we want to feel that way forever. But guess what? That higher than “Cloud 9” feeling goes away after a while.

 That doesn’t mean you don’t love the other person anymore, it just means that it’s not new anymore. So that’s where the action needs to kick in. Show the person you love them. Don’t just assume they know.

How do you let a person who always wants attention know that they are loved and don’t have to always be seeking attention?

Should you always seek a career doing what you love?

 Is it okay to work a job you don’t enjoy?

What’s something your pet does or has done that made you know they actually love you and don’t always just want food?

Want to add word or two?

One of the things we try to teach kids is that there is a clear difference between a want and a need. Needing someone is a feeling based in fear. You fear that you can’t live without them, so you need them. And remember, fear is the opposite of love. Wanting someone in your life gives them the freedom to leave, but still shows them you love them.

Love. It makes the world go ‘round, right?

Well, at least that’s the how the saying goes. But is it true? It should be, but so many people confuse love with things like jealousy or possessiveness. True love isn’t either of those things.

Your comment ….?

Sure, we all want people to behave the way we want them to. We want them to be more affectionate. Or more outgoing. Or smarter. Or more ambitious. All of these things are expectations.

Expectations are just your requirements for “acceptability” of loving someone. But true love has no expectations. It simply loves “as is.”

Love doesn’t play the victim role or blame others.

Love doesn’t think others are “out to get them.” Love doesn’t think their loved ones are wrong. Love works together. It takes responsibility. It forgives and allows other people’s actions to be their journey. Love doesn’t take things personally.

Love includes letting go.

Love doesn’t equal possession. Just as the saying goes, “If you love something, set it free. If it comes back, it’s yours. If it doesn’t, then it never was.”

There is truth to that. Love allows people their freedom. It doesn’t hold tightly and crush their wings in attempt to keep them. True love doesn’t want to possess. It is willing to set you free if you want to be.
