If your life feels out of balance, and what you’ve put into it seems to come back to you as a deficit, it’s because your expectations are conditional. Unconditional love releases all expectation of return, and it gives freely. No matter how much you expect in return, other people cannot fulfill your inner sense of purpose, only you can. Any feeling of a deficit is a result of self-neglect, or in believing other people or circumstances will “make” you happy. Reflect on how you can release those expectations and find the joy and fulfillment within your own being.
Reflect deeply on how life and how the people you love, owe you nothing. Stop keeping score of who has lived up to your expectations, and who has let you down. Love doesn’t keep score – it’s like the sun, it just gives and gives and gives. If you keep tabs on those who love you, and your score card is imbalanced, you’ll feel bitter, cheated, and deficient. That says more about you than it does about them. Why? Because love just is, and it exists in perfect form, abundant from within. Reconnect to your inner love, one that is calling you to know that you are already a perfectly created being, in need of nothing in return. Remember, you already have more than enough to give, so give freely and without expectation. When you express your appreciation for being who you are – that’s unconditional love. Real love expects nothing. Your greatest gift to the world is in realizing that you are already as perfect of a being as you could be. You are the perfect expression of the love that put you here on this earth. Celebrate that truth everyday, and you’ll have more than enough to give to others, with no expectation in return!
Start each day by learning something about yourself!
