"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..."
— Elizabeth Gilbert (Eat, Pray, Love) What I'm wondering is, are there really multiple soul mates, I like this way of looking at it very much, but then I wonder is this just a cop out for 2 people that were too stubourn to work it out for now and they will eventually be together, or maybe one of them didn't want to open up in this life. I have this idea that when our souls go to heaven if they are not whole on learning everything they needed to know in this life then they come back to face the challenges they need conquer, furthermore when you are choosing these challenges perhaps your soulmate and you decide we are going to fight to be together and lets see if we can overcome. This all gives meaning to me as to why do some get cancer, why are some born rich and why does a healthy person get a horrible disease? There are a million questions like this. I have a lot of regrets I need to let go of and I feel if I really truly just live by what I believe I can probably avoid more heartache... so we will see, I will keep you posted. : )
