Unconditional love has the power to heal, uplift, and transform both the giver and the receiver. When you love without conditions, you create a space where others feel truly seen, accepted, and empowered to grow. One way to practice this is to decide to understand the other person without judging.

Think of how great it feels when someone truly listens to you and seeks to understand you instead of rushing to judgment.  This may be a habit you have to develop as we are taught how to speak but given little instruction on how to listen.

Today's Coaching Challenge

What might you learn by trying to understand the other person’s point of view, even if you don’t agree with them?

Before the internet, you had a conversation with one person or perhaps a small group.  However, technology now allows you to hear the opinions of hundreds or thousands of people who are strangers. So, there is no real path to understanding because their ideas are just being broadcast without much thought and no actual conversation.

Action to take

Instead of jumping to conclusions, ask the person questions to better understand their point of view. For example: "Can you help me understand where you're coming from?" or "What led you to think that way?"
