Life is sweeter with soulmates

Life is sweeter with soulmates

I often wonder how many people truly find their soulmates in their lifetime. I know we all hope to find that one true soulmate and marry them right? However, what if your soulmate isn’t the one you marry? What if the one who truly “gets you” ends up being a platonic relationship who is a best friend, or a brother or sister? They are in fact the one person who you seem to have a deeper connection too. Can they be your real soulmate? I believe they definitely can be your soulmate. After all, they seem to know you, understand you and love you anyway despite your flaws.

I think part of what makes a soulmate so connected to you is because you like similar things. There may be some differences too that keep your relationship balanced but it’s the similarity that keeps you together.

Soulmates bring a sense of love, comfort, and intimacy that you can’t find in anyone else. There’s a sense of compatibility and trust between each other that binds you together not just physically and emotionally but only spiritually.

That’s why soulmates seem to have an undeniable connection. They are the one person you can be your true self with and never worry about saying or doing the wrong thing that will make them stop caring about you.

I’m not saying you won’t ever get mad or disappointed with your soulmate. I’m just saying you won’t ever lose your soulmate just because you’re brutally honest. In fact, it’s that kind of brute honesty that makes you connect on a deeper level than others. This is the intense and immediate connection that goes deeper than any other relationship. It forms a sense of comfort and connection and makes it easy to feel complete in each other’s presence.

Hence the strong emotional connection brings a feeling of encouragement and empowerment from each other. This sense of wholeness brings you both together in an abiding love that transcends time, distance and any other circumstance.

It doesn’t matter how long it’s been since you have even seen or spoken to your soulmate, because as soon as you do see them or hear from them there is instant compatibility. Soulmates give each other the same energy and always seem to know how to brighten each other’s days. Soulmates can even have the same thoughts though they may be miles apart.

I just believe soulmates are here for a different purpose. They are here to help guide you to a higher level in your life.

But why soulmates don’t always end up together is because often soulmates are not one particular person that you partner up with for life. Sometimes they end up being that mentor that teaches you more about life but in shorter lessons. Surprising enough you may have more than one soulmate because each soulmate helps you to move along to your next lesson in life.

I’m thankful for the soulmates I have benefitted from throughout my life. For I believe soulmates really are two souls drawn to be together to make the world a little sweeter. That way we get to experience love unconditionally and expand our reality that there really is someone out there that “gets us.” That’s why I think a soulmate is truly priceless and hard to find.
