"In order to lead you have to LOVE, in order to love you have to SERVE." - Dr. West

Selfless love is a form of love where a person cares for someone else deeply and sincerely without expecting anything in return. It’s about putting the other person’s needs, well-being, and happiness before your own, not out of obligation, but out of genuine care and compassion.

Some key characteristics of selfless love include:

1. Unconditional Support – You stand by someone through good and bad, without conditions.

2. Empathy and Compassion – You feel deeply for their pain or joy and act with kindness and understanding.

3. No Hidden Agenda – You don’t give love to get something back, whether attention, praise, or control.

4. Respect for Autonomy – You support their growth, independence, and choices, even if it means letting go.

5. Sacrifice without Resentment – You may give up time, comfort, or desires for their sake, but not with bitterness.

It doesn’t mean neglecting yourself or becoming a martyr—it means loving in a way that honors both the other and your own healthy boundaries.
