Unconditional Love (with a Chronic Illness)

"... everyone has come to understand that unconditional love is a reality, but with as shelf life of about eight to ten seconds.

Learning to love unconditionally is given to us by God for our children, our spouse (or significant other) etc.

But the one real true question is do you unconditionally love yourself? It is so hard to love yourself (or even like yourself) when we all have some form of a chronic illness. I understand this completely, I had to learn early on in life that no one is going to love you unconditionally except for God and yourself. So even when we are in our darkest moments we must stop and realize that we are who we are because we cared enough at one point or another during our lives to learn to love ourselves unconditionally or that we haven't and need to. The best way to achieve unconditional about ourselves is to stop. Stop comparing our lives to everyone else's, stop living the life that others want you to do, stop being someone you are not, etc etc etc. But never ever let your chronic illness overcome you to the point of where you never love yourself unconditionally.

I struggle every day with so many issues (to many to name here)...but the one thing I learned from an early age and then resurrected again after my divorce is to love my unconditionally and if someone doesn't like me then that is their problem not mine.

So face your struggles head on loving yourself and giving it all to God.
