Accept unconditional love

this also includes giving it out

as a pre-requisite

obviously

but I just came across this goal and thought ‘I already do’.

I just know deep inside myself that I have never been loved as much as I am loved now and I’m truly grateful that this love has come my way.
Being told that I am the one that opened his eyes to all the small things in life that are magical or just plain beautiful means a lot to me and when he tells me he loves me it is just out of this world. I know I am loved unconditionally and so do I love him.

but I’m getting better I think.

It really takes getting used to the idea that someone loves you no matter what. It’s an amazing feeling, don’t get me wrong, but it’ll take some time until I can really accept it.

whether there is such a thing called unconditional love.

A few weeks ago I posted that I was told I’m loved unconditionally but now this love seems to have disappeared over night.

I don’t know what happened. Just don’t know.

One word frees us of all the weight and pain in life. That word is love.

- Sophocles

One is loved because one is loved. No reason is needed for loving.

- Paulo Coelho

come along and stay.

I really believe that I’m getting there. I think I have grown quite a bit in the last couple of months and today the thought ‘When for some people I am in the back drawer of their lives but they still want their ‘position’ in my life to be of ‘higher rank’, why should I allow that?’ popped into my head. I think it’s an important step: More self respect does mean knowing what you are ‘worth’ which will surely help to accept unconditional love.

the quote appearing when I chose to write this entry has so much truth in it.
‘Wherever you are, be there.’
I think that’s the biggest part of being able to accept unconditional love. And right now I feel I am able to accept it.

Some days I think I am at a place where I am able to accept unconditional love and then I realize I am still hearing negativity in my head.So I’m not as far along as I want to be yet but at least I’m still working on it.

Thank you loupita for inviting me to join as a teamate on this goal. When the email came up I was looking at a short movie a live journal friend had sent me here . Even though I am not Jewish the idea that starting over as in Rosh Hashanah (which begins Monday at sundown) is appropos to my beginning the journey to accepting unconditional love.

I tell you, it almost seems impossible to conceive of love without strings attached. Agape type love.

We should probably think of a game plan for accomplishing this (my very cerebral side says). Or not (from the rest of me I think)
