What Conditions do you Place on Love?
Jun 14, 2023
We all hold expectations on how a person that we are in a relationship with, regardless of the type of relationship, should act in a given situation. We have ideas in our heads as to how they should respond to our needs and how they should treat our feelings. However, what happens when they do not meet these expectations or they are not capable of our expectations? Do you accept them as they are? Take that thought a step further and ask, do you treat this person the same as someone who responds more in alignment with what you expect?
There is no right or wrong answer. By exploring such questions, we understand ourselves. It is through this understanding we can choose to remain the same or evolve. Ultimately such inquiry leads us to a state of peace, acceptance, and happiness with the Self. Ask yourself, “How do I love?” “Do I love with conditions?”
I am not suggesting that you compromise your needs and boundaries, use mindful awareness, and recognize what you require from a relationship. Can you articulate your feelings and needs and accept if someone is unable to meet those articulations and bring yourself a sense of inner peace and acceptance in the present? Can you allow yourself to process and let go of the emotions that arise? This process is part of being a loving person, connected to the greatest power in the Universe; it is in this space that all things are possible.
