025. Soul Mates

Recently, I found the following quote on the web and thought that I must share this with the group.  

“A soul mate will accept who you are, will bring out the best in you, challenge you, and be your best friend. A soul mate will not require you to change”.

I was also looking through my inspirational image bank and spotted these flowers, where on first glance two of them seem almost identical.  There is a tendency to think that soul mates must be identical, but I would disagree, it is more a case that their personalities must be compatible.

With this in mind, I thought that I would concentrate on four characteristics of a soul mate:

Acceptance of your positive and negative qualities.

• Your soul mate will not try and change you but accept you for who you are.  
  
• Your soul mate will bring out the best in you as a person.  
  
• Your soul mate will be someone to explore and stimulate you spiritually, physically, psychologically/intellectually, emotionally and sexually.  
  
• Your soul mate will explore and share with you your mind, your ideas, your anger, and your joy, being there not only in the good times but the rough seas too.  
  

Generosity

• Your soul mate will be generous with their time, love and energy to you.  
  
• Your soul mate will make time to understand you better.  Generosity we often think about is giving but it can be more than just that. It is about taking time to make sure they are connected with you even on a rainy day. Sometimes it is not what we give but also what we leave out of the mix that can make the difference.  
  

Learning

• Your soul mate will constantly be learning things about you and in return you will be reciprocating this as well.  
  
• Your soul mate will continually learn what makes you tick and in doing so be there for you to make those happy days better. Although you both certainly won't have all the same interests in life, your ability to listen to each other and to get excited about the other's learning will excite and deepen the relationship.
  

Unconditional Love

A soul mate appreciates who you are. This is much beyond the first characteristic of accepting your essence. This is a person who cares about your well-being, who thinks about your needs, and who is ready and able to support your choices.

I am sure that many of you know in spiritual terms that we talk about white light, it is pure as in our flowers. This healing and loving light is what I like to think goes between soul mates. It is a deep spiritual bond that goes beyond the physical and links people together almost like in a never ending chain.

So remember go and smell the flowers, take time for roses and let’s hope that your pretty bloom will be coming your way soon.
