In this blog, I wanted to talk about the four levels of love that Tony Robbins shares in his seminars. The level of love we operate not affects others, yet it affects our own lives, well being, and will determine whether we are fulfilled.
So here are the four levels of love:
BABY LOVE – This is brat like love that isn’t really love, it’s just a demand. We call it baby love because despite being adorable, babies are not loving unless they are getting what they want. Unfortunately, we can be at this level as adults in our relationships, friendships, and family.
HORSE-TRADING – This is one level up from baby love. Here is we decide to love the person and give love, but there has to be something in return. It is called horse trading or an exchange. Waiting for something in return, even when you’re not asking for anything, there is an expectation. When it is not met, you get angry.
REAL LOVE – This unconditional love. Your needs are my needs and that I love you no matter what. Giving because it is who you are. It’s what you do. This level of love will create incredibly lasting relationships.
SPIRITUAL LOVE – You love even though it hurts you. You don’t stay so they can continue to hurt you, but you love them anyway. i.e. – The Dalai Lama, Nelson Mandela.
I would love to get your feedback on these four levels of love and what level of love do you operate at most? Where do you operate at your relationships, family, friendships, interaction day to day with strangers, and work colleagues?
Below is my video blog:
I love the level of love of unconditional love. It really serves me in my life and brings ease and peace into my experience.
I practice it often and find it is really the only way for me to be.
I look around and love people unconditionally as it helps me to understand people, love them and teaches me about myself.
