Just feeling sentimental today. I found this quote on being soul mates and I thought it's worth posting here on Big Love Blog:
"People think a soul mate is your perfect fit, and that's what everyone wants. But a true soul mate 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.
A true soul mate is probably the most important person you'll ever meet, because they tear down your walls and smack you awake. But to live with a soul mate forever? Nah. Too painful. Soul mates, they come into your life just to reveal another layer of yourself to you, and then leave.
A soul mates purpose is to shake you up, tear apart your ego a little bit, show you your obstacles and addictions, break your heart open so new light can get in, make you so desperate and out of control that you have to transform your life, then introduce you to your spiritual master..."

Ouch. My heart ached when I read that part. Sad but so true.
@ plin, yeah that's a sad part. but some people do find their happy endings. :)
I love this!! It is so perfectly worded. I believe I have met my soul mate but not everyone believes in such a concept. I don't some would truly believe it until they have met theirs.
@CC, I do believe in soulmates as well. I have found mine. =)
