Many people have different beliefs and ideas of what they think a soulmate is.
I happen to believe that a soulmate is one who awakens your soul- but not in just blissful, kind, tender, and loving way. Rather in a way where your soulmate acts as a mirror to yourself, revealing all of your flaws, and reflecting them back to you, so that you are so exposed, that you literally feel like your entire mind, body, and soul is standing there naked. It is only then that you have no choice than to deal with your imperfections, and work on becoming the best version of yourself, because you are learning that there are better ways to live.
Here are some interesting quotes on soul mates:
“People think a soul mate is your perfect fit, and that’s what everyone wants. But a true soulmate is a mirror, the person who shows you everything that is holding you back, the person who brings you to your own attention so you can change your life.”
Kenny Loggins
“A soulmate is the one person whose love is powerful enough to motivate you to meet your soul, to do the emotional work of self-discovery, of awakening.”
Edgar Cayce
“A soulmate is an ongoing connection with another individual that the soul picks up again in various times and places over lifetimes. We are attracted to another person at a soul level not because that person is our unique complement, but because by being with that individual, we are somehow provided with an impetus to become whole ourselves.”
Coco J. Ginger
“Soul mates are muses. The people in your life you despise, disrespect and desire the most.”
Tarryn Fisher, Mud Vein
“What’s the difference?” I asked him. “Between the love of your life, and your soulmate?” “One is a choice, and one is not.”
“Soul mates aren’t perfect people. They can come into your life and provide polar emotional experiences from intense love to intense pain. Growth comes from both. And a soul mate helps you grow. It isn’t just “…and they lived happily ever after” but “…and they lived!” ~ From my mentor ~ Lori Chidori Phillips
Donna Lynn Hope
“Soul mates may be linked, but fight to separate, causing wounds and confusion. They teach what no one else can.”
