Unconditional acceptance from "summary" of Almost Just Friends by Jill Shalvis
In relationships, it is important to be able to accept and love people unconditionally, without any conditions or expectations. This means understanding and accepting each other's differences and flaws, and showing support and kindness no matter what.- Releasing judgment and expectations is one of the bravest things two people can do together. Unconditional acceptance tracks the coursing of forgiveness, grace and mutual admiration through relationships and allows us to learn from each other.
- Accepting someone unconditionally means accepting them for who they are without expecting any return in kind. It's an act of selflessness and kindness that can bring forth new levels of trust between two people.
- Reaching a place of personal freedom with another person often requires genuine appreciation and a willingness to forgive mistakes. Unconditional acceptance creates the space necessary for both parties to prescribe to their individual truth.
- To experience unconditional acceptance is to feel safe, valued and appreciated. It's more than a feeling of being loved- it's a deep level of understanding and respect shared between two people.
- Unconditional acceptance is a sign of maturity within a relationship. Allowing yourself or others to be imperfect provides opportunity for growth and healing - creating a deep bond beyond what words can describe.
- Having such immense trust can create the foundation for true emotional intimacy. It allows two people to become vulnerable without fear of judgement and explore the depths of their soul with the comfort of knowing they will be accepted no matter what.
