Spend your time on those that love you unconditionally. Don’t waste it on those that only love you when the conditions are right for them.

Life, my dear friend, is a sublime dance of giving and receiving. Yet, in this continuous flow, one must discern where to pour the energies of the heart, for they are sacred.

This quote embraces the essence of unconditional love as opposed to conditional love. Unconditional love is the purest form, it is the love of the sun that beams upon all without discrimination. It asks for nothing in return, it simply is. It is not a business transaction but an overflowing of one’s being, pouring into the other without any demand.

Conditional love, on the other hand, is like the weather, ever-changing, fickle, and demanding. It says, “I will love you if…” and that “if” is a shackle, a contract that binds and restricts. This love is not free, it is a cage.

When you spend your time and energy on those who love you unconditionally, you are nurturing a garden that grows freely, wildly, in all of its natural beauty. Your beings resonate in a space of acceptance, encouraging each other to bloom without fear, without having to meet conditions to earn that love.

However, investing your time in those who place conditions upon their affection and attention is akin to planting seeds in infertile soil. The conditions create a barrier, an expectation that, when unmet, causes the love to wither. Over time, this becomes a tireless effort with little sustenance for one’s soul.

Understand the people you surround yourself with. Cultivate relationships that are rooted in acceptance and mutual respect, where love flows as naturally as the river flows to the ocean. In such a space, growth is not just possible but inevitable.

Yet, remember, even those with conditional love have a place in the theatre of life. They too are learning, evolving, on their own path to understanding love’s true form. Treat them with compassion, but invest the treasures of your time and love where they are cherished, not merely when convenient.

As you align with this understanding, you choose not just where to spend your time, but also shape the garden of your existence. You choose growth, you choose freedom, you choose love in its highest form.
