What's Meant To Be

Soulmate (or soul mate) is a term sometimes used to designate someone with whom one has a feeling of deep and natural affinity, friendship, love, intimacy, sexuality, and/or compatibility.

People often say that there is one “Soul Mate” out there for everyone.

It’s a romantic way to think of things and this just may be true.

There may be just one person out there in this great big world that fits us like a glove - body, heart, mind and soul. When someone knows you so well that you really do feel as one when you are together. You know exactly what each other is thinking or feeling. When you do get in disagreements, one of your stops and just simply says “I love you” and that just dissolves everything.

It is very rare but occasionally it does happen.

What about the rest of the population who has not been as lucky to find their “Soul Mate”??

Are we to live a miserable lonely existence?

I believe that we have many different types of loves in our life.
If we are lucky, we learn from each relationship. The mistakes we make, hopefully we take and correct to make the next relationship better. We will go through many loves and heartaches growing from each experience. Until we come across a “Great Love”

There are only a few “Great Loves” that we will encounter. These loves are a more serious relationship. Yes, each relationship is different, your compatibility may not be an exact fit. You may have different interests, ideas, or thoughts but you are willing to do whatever it takes to make it work and to make the other person happy.


You can’t waste your life just waiting for that perfect soul mate. They might never ever show up. Even for a soul mate sometime things just are not meant to be.

So when do you know which love you have?

Are you willing to do something you know won't make you happy just to see the other person smile?

Are you willing to sacrifice what might make you happy just to make the one you love happy?

When something good or bad happens are they the first person you call or can’t wait to share your news with (no matter how silly, stupid or outrageous it may be)?


If you answered YES to some and NO to some then you have a love. You care about this person but you aren't willing to go above and beyond

If you answer yes to all of them and and are in fact doing all the above then you have a Great Love. You are gong above and beyond what it take to make things work and to make them happy. Their happiness is more important that yours. (but sadly enough even this has it's limits)

If you have that automatic understanding, there is no need for words, being so in-tune with each other then you have a soul mate.
