All our lives we have believed that we need a soul mate, a person who reaches out to us and completes us. That fits perfectly with us. But what if this were not so?
For some, a soulmate is a mirror where the best and the worst of us are reflected. A mirror that generates things for us because it gives us back what we thought impossible to discover in ourselves.
Elizabeth Gilbert already said it in Eat, Pray, Love:
“An authentic soulmate is the person who brings out everything you have repressed, who makes you look inward so you can change your life. It is the most important person you will meet in your life, because it brings you down all the walls. But living with a soulmate forever? No way. A soulmate comes into your life to remove a veil from your eyes and leaves.”
The love of your life, on the other hand, is something else. It is the person with whom you want to share each of your days, with whom you complement yourself. She is the one who will always be by your side when you need her.
The most beautiful thing in the world is to meet each of these people in due time. But how to recognize them? Here are some signs that will help you identify them.
Your soulmate has a mission in your life
It is someone you need to meet to become the best version of yourself. However, it can rarely stay forever. He is a person who passes through your life and leaves a mark that will later guide you and accompany you for the rest of your days.
Instead, when you find your true love, it will stay with you forever. He will be a person who will be there to take care of you and love you.
Your soulmate will break your heart: your love will heal it
Most likely, your soulmate will break your heart. Yes, it’s hard to put it that way but it’s the truth. Do you know why he will? Because only then can light enter your heart, and its mission in your life will be fulfilled, but you will suffer.
Don’t worry. Even if it seems impossible at the moment, true love will eventually come into your life. It will put together the pieces that are left of you, and make you a new person: a person you could never have been, if it wasn’t for the fact that your soulmate one day broke your heart.
You should never tie yourself to your soulmate
The big problem with all of this is that you will want your soulmate with all of your being. You will see in it what you have never seen before, and it will fascinate you. But try to remember that she has not come to stay.
Pass the duel, but be patient. You have everything you need to get ahead, do you know why? Because your soulmate showed you the way. Now you have to follow it, but you must do it without her.
If you manage to stop clinging to that person and understand when their mission in your life has been fulfilled, you will become that human being that you always wanted to be.
And you, have you already met your soulmate?
