“Loving others Unconditionally How we view others is often a mirror of how we view ourselves. Until we accept and love ourselves unconditionally, we may find it challenging to love and accept others unconditionally. Conversely, until we love and accept others unconditionally, we will be worried about what they think of us (since our thoughts are harsh and judgmental, we subconsciously expect others to be as well). Grace, compassion, and an open mind and heart toward others follows extending these things to ourselves. Consider… - If you believe you are doing the best that you know how…aren’t they? - If you have this battle of self-esteem…perhaps they do as well? - If you have these limiting beliefs…perhaps they do to? - If you had tough parents that negatively influenced your self-worth…is it possible they have similar struggles? - If you are trying to feel better…aren’t they as well? People yearn to be accepted as they are, without a laundry list of expectations. Most people don’t accept themselves, so when we accept them without reflecting to them the judgments they’ve made about themselves, we demonstrate unconditional love.”
