Soul Mate

Do you believe in Love at first sight… one person only for u… or a thousand special persons that are linked intimately to your soul?

Let’s talk about a well known legend. Well, millions of people believe in this. This is my first post. Something to really break the ice.
kiss the frogA soul mate is someone with whom one has a feeling of deep and natural affinity, love, intimacy, spirituality and compatibility. Your ultimate soul mate (as in the book Brida by Paulo Coelho) is sometimes known as a twin flame or twin soul, the one and only other half of one’s soul, for which all souls are driven to find and join.

In reality, we sometimes believe that once we meet our soul mate, there’ll be no more relationship related conflict or drama. Many people hop from one relationship to the next looking for the perfect partner. But what makes the perfect partner and how should a soul mate relationship be? In an ideal world, that might mean no more drama and all peace and tranquillity. But Life and Love is not simple… Love is the ultimate puzzle.

In most cases, your soul mate, if you do believe in that, is the one that challenges you to be better and to look beyond the physical and into the spiritual – to see not just the body frame but straight into the soul because aren’t we all mind, body and soul.

When we talk about soul mate, many of us look straight into the fairy tales, but Life is no fairy tale. So like life and unlike the fairy tales, your soul mate might be no Prince Charming, Knight in shinning armour. Sometimes, your soul mate is the frog and not even a thousand kisses will turn him into a Prince. Your soul mate might have been the troll, but you never gave him a second look and thus failed to see the tenderness in his eyes, the windows to your twin soul.

Life and its mysteries…. You don’t always get what you want, but in hindsight, you always get what you needed… Love, peace of mind, laughter, joy and hotness!

Jewish Legend About Soulmates

An old Jewish legend tells us that when two certain souls are created in heaven, an angel cries out, “this man is made for this woman!”

It is said this if these people meet on earth and recognize each other for who they truly are, they will fall in love and become as one, working together in unison.

Then no hardship can altar the strength of their enduring love. Everything they do shall succeed.

I wrote this on my blog last week.  As this is my first post, I hope the first of many. Do you believe in the legend of soul mates?

    I don’t believe in this concept of soul mates as in men and women, but I do believe in soul mates in another way. As an identical twin I already have a soul mate and no one could ever take her place. Its a biological and spiritual fact in my mind.

    As for fellas there is no one man out there for me but rather a series of men I can feasibly tolerate to the point of being able to live with them long term, no one is perfect, least of all me.

    My head wants me to write a very well thought out comment around how soul mates don’t necessarly exist and that you make a lot of your own luck and relationships require work and more work.

    The 7 year old kid that still exists inside of me believes in fairies and soul mates and thinks one day your meet them and you will just know….and it will be love at first sight and they will sweep you off your feet with a great big white horse! :)

    As for the 27 year old me, i think you have a gut feel about who. I think you follow some natural instincts. No one will be the other half of my soul, but the boy, well he completes the circle. He reflects on to me and makes me show my best side….

    I believe there are many people out there that you are drawn to… whether to build a relationship or just friendship.
    Some people call it intuition while other people refer to these individuals as soul mates.

    I’m not sure….but I do believe that a soul mate isn’t necessarily the man you marry or want to spend your life with…
