2. Love helps boost your spirit.
Choosing unconditional love, acceptance, gratitude, and compassion generates a higher energy within us.
When someone is being judgmental, conditional and demanding with you, it doesn’t feel good. The person’s energy is draining and toxic, like they’re a vampire sucking the positive energy right out of you.
But when you surrounded yourself with people who are unconditional, accepting, compassionate and positive toward you, your spirit lifts and you usually feel warm and fuzzy inside. You want people like that (and their upbeat energy) around you.
Unconditional love promotes trust and connection with others. It allows more openness and vulnerability in life experiences, so you don’t need to hide from yourself or others.
In the words of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., “I have decided to stick with love … Hate is too great a burden to bear.”
