“Remove the Reason” and Find Unconditional Love | VictorSchueller.com

This past Monday I had the pleasure of talking to a wonderful young man by the name of Taylor Vogt.  Taylor was my guest on this week’s radio show, and Monday proved to be one of those fine days when a guest provides a genius insight that I have never considered before, and my life is forever changed as  a result.

Taylor and I were talking about those times in life when we feel we’re stuck, overwhelmed, or not making progress, either in our personal or professional lives.  He pointed out that a lot of times this is because we are unknowingly judgmental.  In other words, we encounter a problem or negativity, but we sort of tell ourselves on a subconscious (or even conscious level) that we already know the way to solve the problem.  The result from this line of thinking is that we simply resort to the strategies and logic that we have always applied, and we get nowhere.  We still find ourselves stuck, overwhelmed, and not making any progress.

So I asked Taylor what we can do to “fix” this problem.  He said the “antidote” to being judgmental is unconditional love.

He went on to provide three steps to overcome being stuck, overwhelmed, or not making progress:

1. Identify the source of negativity.

2. Find a reason to give it love, and give it love.

3. Remove the reason, thereby removing the condition by which you are applying love, leaving “unconditional” love.

“Wow!” I thought.  Now there’s a revolutionary idea.  “Remove the reason.”  It so true — we often apply love, but we apply love for a reason, thus making it “conditional love.”  Once we remove the reason, we can move into pure unconditional love.  So cool.

Is there a way that you can give love to a negative in your life?  Is there an opportunity to “remove the reason” for the love?  I think we all can find ways to apply love to those sticky situations in life, and I know there now lies a tremendous opportunity for us to “remove the reason” and find that unconditional love that will bless us and those around us in so many ways.

Give it a try!  Let me know what you think!
