Soulmate, the one inspiration that captivates the heart and soul with an endearing quest. It is the nexus of the spirit and it comforts our daily existence in its aspirations. Few have pondered the many foundations rooted in the concept of a soulmate.
A soulmate, by common definition, is a person in perfect harmony with their mate’s persona, somewhat like the unuttered second thought. However, the saying "Be careful for what you wish for" always makes me grin.
We can fully understand soulmates once we identify with the reality of love. Love is not your mirror image, but your equal. Love is not someone that enjoys all the things you enjoy, but, in contrast, love is that colorful opposite of your interests. This contrast inspires creativity and compliments the deficits. No couple can hope to survive without constant mental stimulation. It is with these thoughts foremost in mind that we should we begin our quest for love. Love is the wonderful ability to appreciate the flaws in a person, for those flaws make that person unique and genuine in their spirit. If you adjoin and align yourself with self, you can only hope for a carbon copy of yourself.
The human mind needs constant stimulation. When a love life becomes monotonous and mundane, we lose the attributes that gave us love. It is essential for love to evolve through our shared experiences, not by the edification of our mates. Your mate should compliment, not dictate. If we are as our mate aspires us to be, then where does the magic rear itself? Boredom will soon parlay to infidelity due to a lack of stimulation.
A soulmate is a mate of the soul - a partner, if you may. A spiritual love, a love undaunted by the properties bound by this world. A soulmate evolves as the soul does, of its own volition, in concert with the growth of the relationship. When you have a relationship with an actual soulmate (many, after the long absence of a mate, confuse the definition of soulmate), there are no domineering factors, for domination rules, whereas love shares. So, there is no ruling partner in the relationship; there is no need for one. Each partner has their strengths and weaknesses, so one mate compliments another.
A soulmate is something not of life but of many lives. A soulmate may return in your next life as your son, brother, father or uncle. In each evolution of the soul, will you encounter this entity and identify it for what it is.
So, a soulmate as love is not bound by mere things like time and space. It is as boundless as our gift of life itself.The key to finding your soulmate is the key to love: appreciation. When we can learn to appreciate ourselves with our counterparts to the bounds of our abilities, will we learn the infinity of compassion and the earnest nature of love.
