SOULMATES

Being the hopeless romantic that I am, I do believe in soulmates since I can’t remember when. But the question is, is it really true that there's one person out there who can enrich your life in a way that no one else can? Do soulmates exist? Where did the idea of soulmates originated?

I can’t even answer those questions. I just love the feeling each time I think of how amazing it would be if you were able to find your other half. I came across this certain line that made me raise my brows: “True love is the love you share with your soulmate”. Really? Are we all fortunate enough to find them in this lifetime? Since as far as I can remember, it is alleged that soulmates mean two souls having spent multiple lifetimes together in their past lives. When we usually hear this word, we think about LOVE. Then believe that having found your soulmate means complimenting and completing each other. Being soulmates does not only mean being in love with each other, because it is also likely that our soulmate can be some of the few people we encounter through our life like friends, relatives, work mates, or any person you can feel at ease to be with and your personalities simply connect. It may be the person you see on the subway everyday, the annoying person you simply hate at first but eventually end up as your buddy! It can be the unexpected ones. ^_^

There are lots of concepts on the subject of SOULMATES and it includes a variety of types of relationships, which do not always include romantic love. It is simply the remarkable chemistry and emotional link between two people.

If it is true that soulmates were reincarnated and meant to find each other in another lifetime, how do we find them? Do we have to wait or search for them instead? Oh well…I found some simple steps!

1. Make yourself a better person

2. Remember that your soulmate might not be what you expect.

3. Be patient.

4. Accept people for who they are, not who you want them to be.

5. Weather the storms.

Makes sense! I would definitely keep this in mind and perhaps remind myself not to expect too much. Having an incredible relationship with someone can be deceiving sometimes; we get dreamy and think that this one person is destined to be our soul mate. When we’re overwhelmed with joy and attraction, we easily fall and get lost into the misleading world of fantasy. We should open our eyes and accept the truth that some ideal expectations can be unrealistic and we could end up being hurt in the end.

It’s just a matter of time, wherein everything will absolutely fall into place. Just live life and be the best that you can be, even if your soulmate might cross your way when you're 6 or 60 years old. Still, don’t end up being desperate and obsess in finding your soulmate. Who knows, maybe that special person is someone you’ve known and been with all along. ^_^
