Your Soulmate
What is a soul mate? How do you know when you have found yours? Read on to find out.
Dr. Carmen Harra notes that there is a difference between a life partner and a soulmate.
She writes that a life partner “lacks the elements to mold perfectly to you” while a soulmate will be someone who “completes” you”.
You may have a checklist of things that you are looking for in a partner, maybe physical characteristics like how he or she looks, or personality traits like how they are the life of the party. However, a soulmate is something that often defies your preconceived notions and gives you that singular feeling of being with the one that you are meant to be with.
Often you will find your soulmate when you stop trying to check off specific things you are looking for and just open yourself up to what is possible.
However, there are some things that you can look for, and when you see them, you can be sure that you have found your soulmate.
-
You know itWhen you meet your soulmate at a deep level you will know it. Trust your instincts and how you feel.
-
It feels like serendipityYou may have the same interests or tastes in common. You may find that both you and your soulmate have crossed paths or come close to meeting in the past, but the time was not right for you to meet.
-
You understand each otherYou can look at your soulmate and understand what they are thinking and feeling without them having to say a word.
-
Being with them is always comfortingIt can be a sense of calm or relaxation when around them, but when you are with your soulmate its better than being without them.
-
Jealousy does not come into playWhen alone or out with friends, being separated does not make you jealous because you both know that you have already found your perfect match.
-
It is not perfect, but you work though things togetherEvery relationship will have problems; however, you and your soulmate will work through any issues without trying to get one up on the other.
-
You share the same goalsBoth you and your soulmate will have similar or the same life goals and will work together to accomplish them.
These are just some of the things that you will see when you find your soulmate.
Remember, finding your soulmate does not happen overnight and will not happen until you open yourself up to new experiences and the opportunity for you to find the one.
