I’d like to take this opportunity to talk about soulmates and what I think they really are. So often, when reading for clients I get asked, “When will I find my soulmate?” or, “Is this person my soulmate?” I always feel at a loss when this happens because in almost all cases I don’t define soulmates the same way that my client does. Many people think that soulmates are the be-all, end-all answer to every question solving every problem for the remainder of their lives. I just don’t think that it’s so.
Here’s how I define soulmate. A soulmate can be a friend, a stranger, a lover or a family member. The job of the soulmate is to enable your soul to grow in a direction that wouldn’t be possible without their help. A soulmate can be with you anywhere from one single second up to a lifetime. It is their job to leave when their work is done and your job to allow them to leave and thank them for their lesson.
We hold on when it’s time to let go because the connection is so intense that it’s scary to consider a life without that intimate feeling of mutual understanding. But you must not only consider but embrace the change. Your soulmate found you to help your soul grow and achieve a height that would be unreachable had they not entered your life. Once this is done, it serves you both best to let go. You both need to turn the page to the next lesson and grow.
