Acceptance & Unconditional Love
Friday, July 7, 2017 | 0 comments
Assalamualaikum and good morning everyone! Now, we have
reached the end of my blog post.
Today, I’m going to talk on the most topic that
people can be mostly relate to – love!
People usually know what love is in general, but do people
know the types of love?
Do people understand what conditional and unconditional love
means?
There are people saying that if it’s conditional, it’s not
love. But, do we really have to love unconditionally?
Do we have to accept to love unconditionally? What do we
have to accept?
Paul (2013) suggests that love doesn’t have to be earned and
to be proven. When someone truly loves you, they love you for who you are, not
for what you do. This is where the acceptance part plays its role.
How do we love unconditionally?
Pool (2010) said that loving unconditionally is more of a
behaviour versus feeling. Imagine the satisfaction being that feeling you get
when you act a certain way for them, not when someone else acts a certain way
to you. This becomes a pure act of generosity.
Yes, unconditional love is a part of generosity, but not
everyone can reach unconditional love.
Unconditional love is not about expecting something from the
party. It’s not about being loved back.
It’s just something that everyone is
yet to reach and it is not that easy.
Ask yourself if you love someone conditionally or
unconditionally. Think about it.
I guess this marks the end of my blog post. I’m happy to be
able to write all the posts for you. I hope you gain something from this blog.
Thank you very much for your reading!
Much love,

Acceptance & Happiness
Saturday, July 1, 2017 | 0 comments
Assalamualaikum to everyone! Today, let’s talk about
acceptance and happiness.
This is basically a continuation for this post because today’s
post is going to be related to that post, but with deeper details.
So, how do you define happiness? How do you know when you’re
happy or not?
How often have you said “I just want to be happy,” or “I
want him/her/ to be happy,” but do you understand the meaning behind happiness?
Alright, so Merriam-Webster (n.d) implies that happiness is
a state of well-being and contentment.
I believe we’ve experienced happiness a lot of times. There
are times when you meet your crush after a long tiring day and you just feel
content after seeing him or her. There are many things you can do to make you
happy. Being happy isn’t about getting out of stress, but it is okay to be happy
for yourself.
According to Happiness International (n.d.), happiness is
based on our individual needs and they vary based on our genetics, how we were
raised, and our life experiences. That complex combination is what makes each
of us unique, both in our exact needs, and in every other aspect of what makes
us the person we are.
Now, do you get clearer picture about happiness? I hope you
do now.
I will end today’s post here. See you later!
Much love,
Farzana
