SYMPTOMS
If we claim to have love in our heart, then a symptom of this will be expressing kindness and compassion to those we meet on the street. If we are harbor anger toward others, this is a symptom of the disconnection with the love found at the core of our being. If we are honest with ourselves it will be easy to see. Yet it can be too painful to look within ourselves to get an honest answer.
GUARANTEE
All of us want a guarantee. We want our partner to guarantee their love for us until the end. We want guaranties we will stay healthy, although we may not be taking care of ourselves. We even want a guarantee when we begin our inner journey. With no guarantee of connecting with our true selves, we may not want begin. We may also want a guarantee that we will not feel any pain as we peel back the layers of our false persona.
INNER CRITIC
One thing we forget is the strength to silence our inner critic will be found in the love we have for ourselves.
SELF-REFLECTION
Through the inner work of self-reflection, we come closer to knowing our true selves. Again, we must be honest with ourselves otherwise the same harmful patterns will continue to control our lives.
CONDITIONAL LOVE
If we look closer we may notice how we fluctuate between unconditional love and conditional love as a way to manipulate those around us. Unconditional love for a job well done, conditional love when things don’t work out in our favor.
