Doesn’t it make you feel good to appreciate or love another not wanting anything in return? When you love you are looking at and appreciating the qualities that are good in that person, without judgement, without asking anything in return, and whether or not they deserve that love. I always think of the situation where a victim’s family chooses to love the criminal who harmed or even killed their loved one. They look at them with love and forgiveness. It is beyond admirable, it is what we should all strive to accomplish. Anger, resentment and hatred, though better than depression, are not something you want to hold emotionally for very long. In this state you are disconnected to your own wellbeing.  There is nothing more important than your own connection to wellbeing, joy and love. Look for and expect the good that every human possesses and I’m certain you will find, even in the most unlikely places. There is great love here for you and your enemies, [![signature](https://static.hsstatic.net/BlogImporterAssetsUI/ex/missing-image.png)](https://static.hsstatic.net/BlogImporterAssetsUI/ex/missing-image.png)   [High Performance](https://lauralaire.com/blog/tag/high-performance) #### Share: - [Follow us on Facebook](http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=https://lauralaire.com/blog/loving-unconditionally) - - [Follow us on Google Plus](https://plus.google.com/share?url=https://lauralaire.com/blog/loving-unconditionally) - [Follow us on Linkedin](http://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https://lauralaire.com/blog/loving-unconditionally) - [Follow us on tumblr](https://www.tumblr.com/share/link?url=https://lauralaire.com/blog/loving-unconditionally) - [Follow us on Pinterest](http://pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=https://lauralaire.com/blog/loving-unconditionally&text=Loving%20Unconditionallydescription=The%20most%20powerful%20lesson%20that%20I%20have%20ever%20learn%20was%20appreciation,%20not%20just%20of%20things%20but%20of%20people.%20Doesn’t%20it%20make%20you%20feel%20good%20to%20appreciate%20or%20love%20another[...]&media=https://50530809.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hubfs/50530809/Imported_Blog_Media/42424704_10217105836056407_5279490636238553088_n.jpg) - #### [Sitting may be detrimental to your health Previous Post](https://lauralaire.com/blog/sittingmaybedetrimentaltoyourhealth) #### [Perfect Brows Next Post](https://lauralaire.com/blog/perfect-brows) --- ###### Related Posts [4 Steps to Become the Best in the World at Anything](https://lauralaire.com/blog/best-in-the-world) [The Genius Hour – 3 Steps to a Powerful Morning + Challenge](https://lauralaire.com/blog/geniushour) [The #1 Reason Why You SHOULD Always Want to Make More Money](https://lauralaire.com/blog/always-want-to-make-more-money) [Ever Wanted to Fit In?
