Many religions preach love but when it comes to applying it to your everyday life, it gets to be a challenge.
Unconditional love is not always easy. As humans we are flawed and we often put expectations on the people who are the closest to us. Sometimes we are demanding and other times we are disappointed when people do not turn out to be who we hoped that they were.
Many times it is our own inability to love them unconditionally that causes the disappointment. Learning how to accept someone for who they are- faults and all - is what unconditional love is about. People can surprise you but if you accept someone for who they are and what their personal limitations are, you may be less likely to build them up to be someone they are not.
When you can truly see the good and bad in someone and not want to change them, you are on your way to unconditional love.
When you can love someone in spite of their faults, you can open up new opportunities for growth within yourself.
The next time you rush to judge someone's actions or words- stop and think about it first. Acceptance of who that person is and respect for their point of view can give you a new window into who that person is. You may make discoveries that you never would have before.
