What is unconditional love?

Unconditional love is accepting someone as he or she is, without judgment. And it doesn’t just “happen”. It is a mountain we must climb, constantly fighting our compassion fatigue, restricting our desire to give up, drawing on inner-strengths we knew nothing of, and looking to the peak even when we’ve been knocked down to our hands and knees. This is unconditional love.

Who needs your unconditional love today? Find a way to put your judgments aside. Love people for who they are.

When you argue, do you hold onto your opinions at all costs?

Sometimes we think like a boiled egg - the longer we boil, the harder we become. We cling to our own opinions, and the more people oppose us, the harder we hold on - no matter who gets hurt.

Today, soften your resolve in situations. Listen and learn from your adversaries. Master the valuable art of conceding.

Don’t be an egghead.

You’ve heard of the splitting of the Red Sea, yes?  So you know of the incredible outcome: just before the Egyptian army reached the Israelites, the Red Sea parted and the Israelites raced off to freedom.

What a miracle!  But it’s an ancient myth, right?  Wrong.  Not only did the sea split, but it will split again this week.  In our lives, that is.
