“Love is the ability and willingness to allow those that you care for to be what they choose for themselves without any insistence that they satisfy you.”― Wayne W. Dyer
When was the last time you loved without hesitation or caution? (is that really possible?) Withholding love as a means of control only leads to distrust and resentment. Loving unconditionally means loving without judgment. Free yourself from unrealistic expectations and accept the person you love for who they are. Do not expect your needs and wants to be fulfilled by someone else.
Allow those you love to express themselves without fear of rejection. Do not punish yourself or loved ones for past mistakes. Love always looks for the best, never looks back. People use the word love very loosely, but do not stop to think of the implications of using the word. Take the time to be responsible in how you show love. Allow yourself to love and be loved.
