\ncannot receive from another something you haven\u2019t given to yourself.
\nWhen you withhold love from yourself, you attract others into your life
\nwho are doing the same thing. The experience of unconditional love
\nbegins in your<\/span> heart, not in someone else\u2019s. Don\u2019t make your ability to
\nlove yourself conditional on someone else\u2019s ability to love you. Don\u2019t place
\nfaith in the conditions that surround love or in the form in which it
\npresents itself. For these are impermanent and subject to the
\nvicissitudes of everyday life. Real love does not change. It exists
\nindependently of the form through which it expresses. The Source of
\nthis eternal, omnipresent, formless Love is within you. This is where
\nyour faith must be placed, for this love is as certain as anything you
\nwill ever know. And once It is firmly established in your heart, you
\nwill never need to look for happiness outside of yourself.
\n– Paul Ferrini, Love Without Conditions<\/span><\/p>\n
\nOthers will treat you unkindly. You will accept the love that is there
\nand see lack of love for what it is, a cry for help from one who is
\nhurting. You will encourage others to find the Source of love within as
\nyou did, knowing fully that you cannot fix their little problems. The
\ntragedy of their lives can only be addressed by their willingness to
\nlook within their own hearts and minds. One who loves without
\nconditions places no limits on his freedom nor on anyone else\u2019s. He does
\nnot try to keep love, for to try to keep it is to lose it. Love is a
\ngift that must constantly be given as it is asked for in each
\nsituation. And the giver always knows when and to whom the gift is to
\nbe given. There is nothing complicated about the act of love. It only
\nbecomes complicated when one starts to withhold love, and then it ceases
\nto be love that one offers.

\nWe practice compassion through acts of forgiveness, releasing
\nresentment, anger and hurt. We understand forgiveness when we realize
