What Really is a Soul Mate?

 

Although we agree that this soul mate connection can be a special,
once in a lifetime event, and finding your soul mate can be a
wonderful gift, we have a little different view of what soul mates
are.
 

The common belief about soul mates is that there is one soul mate
for you and if you miss that one opportunity to be together, you
will have to "settle" for a life of dissatisfaction when it comes to
having an intimate relationship.

Many people who long to find a soul mate, have gone through
several relationship breakups feel they are "unlucky" at love. They
feel they will never find that "perfect" someone to share their life with.

That's not what we believe at all!  We have a somewhat different
soul mate definition than what is commonly held.

We believe that a soul mate relationship can be one filled with
passion, excitement, an incredible connection and all those things
you've seen in romance movies and imagined it to be.  We recognize
that those relationships do exist and we feel that it is possible to "find"
that special person if that's your intention and path this time around. 
But that's not the whole story.

Here's where we take a fork in the road from many popular beliefs
about soul mate relationships.  We believe that soul mate relationships
can take many different forms.  They can be intimate relationships, like
we have, or they can be between friends, co-workers, family or people
on the street. We believe that the purpose of all relationships, and especially

soul mate relationships, is that we come together for personal and spiritual
growth.  They can be loved ones or they can be people who really irritate
us--and we can learn from all of them

So if anyone can be a soul mate, can you attract a soul mate that you
want to you? Yes--but we also encourage you to think about the people
who are already in your life as people to learn from.

Here are some questions for you to consider--

Think of a person in your life that you have or had a deep connection to
or one who irritated you consistently and you don't really know why.

Ask yourself--

--What have I learned about myself as a result of being in a relationship
with this person?

--How did this relationship help me to move forward to heal, learn and grow?

--What new beliefs did I take on or let go of as a result of being in this particular
relationship?

What does all of this have to do with finding a soul mate? It has everything
to do with it and here's why...

If you begin your viewpoint about what a soul mate is, new possibilities will
begin to emerge and you will see your relationships for what they give to you.
You can start to become grateful for the people who are currently in your
life and that gratefulness will begin to draw you more toward the relationship
that you truly want.
