Would you recognize unconditional love?

-

How many people would actually recognise the unicorn of "unconditional love" when faced with it?

 No, not that "I love you for the way you love me" stuff that's based in co-dependency. That's the kind of love that turns the other person invisible, hidden by conceit

 Playing the vulnerability card also misses the "unconditional" mark when its based on me revealing who I am, regardless of the consequences. Real love doesn't have to be seen, and has no need to expose itself.

 We all love them when they support our vision, understand our darkness, and cuddle our flaws. However, where is the love to support their recovery when they're broke and broken? Real love isn't offended by their failures, nor does it twitch at their disloyalty.

 Real love doesnt have to be first in their lives. It will stand aside, letting another step in to meet the need, receive the glory, be the hero. Unconditional love will advise against the self destruction, and then lead your cheerleaders when you decide to anyway.

 In all certainty, there is at least one person in your life that loves you with everything that they are, content to play second fiddle. There is at least one person in your life that prays for your success and dances alone when it arrives, happy to champion your cause, happy to champion you.

 Unconditional love is alive, well and more common than the unicorn. You've probably been touched by its kindness this week. Would you recognize unconditional love if it took you out to dinner?

The Average Enforcer When introducing the wonders of Mind Mutter, what it is and how it works, it is beneficial to look at the effects it has on people like us. This article will take a brief look at how Mind Mutter affects peoples thinking, their achievements, their successes and failures. Have you ever wondered why people at the top of their game somehow fail - spectacularly? Think of people in sports, and how at the pinnacle of their career, they make a blunder that destroys their reputation.
