What Is Real Love?

What is real love? Real love means acceptance of others and no judgment. The reason why true unconditional love exists is because it raises the level of your consciousness. Consciousness is important because it brings peace and higher level of understanding for yourself, for the people you choose to surround yourself with, and for the world.

There is an old parable that goes like this:

An old Cherokee is teaching his grandson about life. “A fight is going on inside me,” he said to the boy.

“It is a terrible fighting and it is between two wolves. One is evil— he is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.” He continued, “The other is good— he is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith. The same fight is going on inside you— and inside every other person, too.”

The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather, “Which wolf will win?”

The old Cherokee simply replied, “The one you feed.”

Often times, we get caught up in the wrong things. There is nothing wrong with being materialistic, greedy, or lustful at times, but there is a problem with getting so consumed with it that you don’t pay attention to what’s most important, and that is being true to yourself.

You just have to learn how to live a balanced life. Too much positivity can lead you to being manic. And too much negativity can lead to more negativity, such as suicidal thoughts or unworthiness. It can be a little confusing to learn how to live a balanced life, but the best way to live that kind of life is to learn from your part mistakes and to do better next time.

There are times when we feel happy, confused, lost, abandoned, curious, and so on. We don’t have to feed into the negativity all the time, and it’s okay if you’re not used to feeling positive. But either way, you should learn how to master your mindset and focus on the good in your life. You have to learn how to accept your past and move on. Learn how to forgive not only others, but yourself first.

A good way to get your feelings out is to journal or to blog. It is a good way to process your feelings and emotions. Other coping skills include finding ways to enjoy your life such as listening to music, singing, dancing, or hanging out with friends.

Real love can be a confusing topic at times. Sometimes, the things we feel are real, and sometimes they are just imaginary. That is why it’s a good idea to blog or to journal your feelings and thoughts out. It teaches you how to become a better human being.

I like to think of myself as a human doing. That means I am always problem-solving. If there is a problem that you can fix, you fix it. If there is a problem you’re not sure how to fix, you wait it out a bit and then decide on a solution that is good.

I like to think that I have unconditional love for myself and for others. I am a compassionate human being who cares about other people. But sometimes, I go overboard and only pay attention to what others want rather than taking the time to get to know myself. It can be dangerous sometimes to only help others and not taking care of your own needs first. So you need to learn how to be balanced with your thoughts, feelings, emotions, and overall existence.

I can get more into these topics on future blog posts. For now, I’d say that you should have unconditional love for yourself first. Be your own best friend. Go to the movies. Read books. Play fun games with friends. Be a good human being.
