Summary

Last week, I shared a quote from Mark Groves on Instagram about reconciling our differences, especially in the context of voting and politics. Unsurprisingly, the responses varied—some resonated deeply, while others disagreed.

And that's okay because it brought to light a truth I've been reflecting on all week: Love and understanding aren't conditional. They're not reserved for those who agree with us or share our worldview. Every single person is worthy of compassion, regardless of their background or beliefs.

In today's episode, you'll walk away with a simple question that will transform how you approach your relationships with friends, family members, or anyone with different views and opinions.

This simple but powerful mindset shift will help you understand where they're coming from and empower you to show up with empathy, love, and understanding, even in the most challenging interactions. In a world that often feels very divided, this can help us create a ripple effect of kindness and understanding when it's needed most.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Seeing the world through unconditional love changes everything
Everyone’s fighting their own battles, even if you can’t see them
When someone’s being harsh, that’s when they need kindness the most
People aren’t inherently good or bad - it all comes down to their choices
Love won’t fix everything, but it works wonders for the struggles inside you

0:26.4	you need to do to do the same. Ready? Here we go.
0:36.5	Hello, friends. Welcome to the Achieve Your Goals podcast. I'm your host Hal Elrod. And today we're
0:41.3	talking about how to love all people, capital A, capital L, capital L, how to love all people, even your
0:48.4	enemies, even people you disagree with, even people who have harmed you. And I know that one might be tough, but stick with
0:55.3	me. This is based on a post I put up on Instagram. It's based on the comments, over 300 comments that I
1:01.3	went back and forth, responding to as many people as I could, because some people were really upset by a
1:05.6	post I put up. And that post began, it was actually a screenshot of something that someone else said.
1:10.8	It began with the words,
1:12.0	I will never let who someone votes for get in the way of my love for them. And it triggered a lot of
1:17.2	people and upset them. And at first, I didn't understand why. And then again, I engaged with 300 comments,
1:21.9	read every single one of them and responded to as many as I could. And I begin to understand why.
1:26.8	And what I realize is that it's
1:28.3	almost like we were speaking two different languages in the way that I personally view unconditional
1:34.1	love, and that no matter how someone treats me, it doesn't change that I love all people,
1:39.2	that I view them with empathy, that I try to understand where they're coming from. In fact,
1:43.2	the meaner someone is, the more I go, wow, what inside of them, what in their try to understand where they're coming from. In fact, the meaner someone is,
1:44.6	the more I go, wow, what inside of them, what in their life? How have they been hurt so much that
1:49.0	they would project that level of harm onto another person? And it doesn't change the lens, though,
