“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…”
