Valentine's Day Challenge

Posted by Jerry Lopper Feb 11, 2007

I challenge you to take a big step for yourself and someone you love. This Valentine's Day, commit to love unconditionally. Pick someone special, your spouse, significant other, child, parent, or friend. Tell that special person that your love for them is total, complete, and unconditional.

This may be difficult to do. We're used to expressing love with conditions. But true love does not encumber with conditions. So, if you need an example, try this:

I love you no matter what you do, what you say, or how you behave. I simply and totally love you. I hope that you love me, too, but that is not a condition. There are no conditions. I love you.

There. How does that feel?

If you can't bring yourself to speak it out loud or give it in a note, then write it privately and put the person's name at the top. You may be amazed by how this simple but powerful declaration changes both you and the relationship you have.
