Unconditional Love...

Good morning, everyone!!!

​This morning I want to talk a little bit about unconditional love because it's been on my mind lately.

​Unconditional love doesn't mean you have to submit yourself to everything someone dishes out to you. It means, that in spite of the things they dish out to you, you're still going to love them no matter what. 

​No one makes all the right choices for themselves every minute of every day. It doesn't mean we're not loveable, it just means we're human. Sometimes we make the wrong choices over and over again. We get stuck in a pattern we find comfortable and we stay there. A comfort zone can be heaven or our own personal hell. It still doesn't mean we're not loveable.

​No one in this life is perfect. To believe that we are is a dilution of the truth. 

​Giving unconditional love is a topic that has been on my mind as of late. Understanding how to give unconditional love and still be able to enjoy life. 

​I have a friend that no matter what is going on in this world she always seems happy, on top of the world, and never seems to let the struggles of this world get her down. I thought about this as I thought about unconditional love. She has this hands down in this life. Always giving off a world of beautiful energy. 

So how do you do this? I asked myself.

​When you see someone close to you going back to the same habits as they once embraced before? Then the answers became clear, you love them unconditionally. You give them the space to live life in their own manner. You just keep loving them.

​Unconditional love doesn't mean you have to sacrifice your values or your decisions. Because we all have to live with the consequences of our actions. We do not have embrace their choices, but we do still have to love them even when they aren't being loveable.

​Part of life's lessons are living with the consequences of our actions. If everyone around you is always bending to your actions, there are never really any consequences for you to live with. Nothing for you to learn from. Unconditional love doesn't mean you have accepted the path of another, it just means you've accepted the fact that each person must live their life in the manner that they see fit for themselves and love them anyway. We all have our lessons to learn in this life, and sometimes those around us can see the bigger picture and it breaks their heart, but to give that unconditional love, they must let you live without interruption.

​The hardest part is watching someone you love keep repeating the same patterns over and over again. First instinct is to lash out at them, say things like, "Don't you see you're back at square one?" But then you let this roll over in your mind, you realize there is still much to learn for this person from this behavior and you have to figure out how you may have blocked this learning from them that helped them get back to this position. 

​Unconditional love is messy. It is hard. It is not a place we don't wish to be in all the time, but we do it, because unconditional love means loving without demands, without expectations, and let love flow through us regardless.

​Just because you love someone unconditionally, doesn't mean you are part of their choice, it just means you love them regardless of their choices. 

​I make choices every day that I know are not the choices someone else would make. I am just thankful those who love me, love me anyway :)

Everyone have a lovely day!!!

Blessings to all!!!
