True Love

All of us want to find our soulmate in life, that one person that we can’t live without and who knows us better than we know ourselves sometimes. To fulfill this desire we all go on a quest throughout life looking for that one person.

“A soulmate is someone who has locks that fit our keys, and keys to fit our locks. When we feel safe enough to open the locks, our truest selves step out and we can be completely and honestly who we are; we can be loved for who we are and not for who we’re pretending to be. Each unveils the best part of the other. No matter what else goes wrong around us, with that one person we’re safe in our own paradise. Our soulmate is someone who shares our deepest longings, our sense of direction. When we’re two balloons, and together our direction is up, chances are we’ve found the right person. Our soulmate is the one who makes life come to life.

We recognize a soul mate by the supreme level of comfort and security we feel with that person. That doesn't mean that there aren't issues that remain to be ironed out. Rather, it means we know intuitively that we can resolve issues with our soul mate without losing his or her love and respect.” ~Linda Brady

As I said it is a quest in life and quests always have many setbacks. This is true in love as well. Just when you think you’ve found that person, something doesn’t work out.

“Relationships are like glass. Sometimes it’s better to leave them broken than try to hurt yourself putting it back together.” ~

But after the glass is broken we need to move on forward in our quest. No sense in dwelling in the past, if it was the right person they’ll come back someday. I know this is easier said and done but it’s what must happen.

“Whats meant to be will always find its way.” ~

“Cry too much over one person and you will drown but move on and you will smile and that will bring out the sun to dry away your tears.” ~

“If you aren't good at loving yourself, you will have a difficult time loving anyone, since you'll resent the time and energy you give another person that you aren't even giving to yourself.”

You need to start over and start by making sure that you are who you want to be and where you want to be in life before you even think of trying to make your life work with someone else.

“After a few (or many) bad relationships, it's so easy to shut down, give up, and stop believing that the right person is out there for us. Our hearts yearn to fall in love, but our minds insist it's not possible, and we enter into a tug-of-war with ourselves. It's as if one part of us is screaming, Yes! I deserve a great relationship! while another part insists, I'll never find him or her. When our beliefs contradict our desires, we experience an inner conflict that not only paralyzes us, but can actually prevent us from recognizing the possibilities for love that exist all around us.” ~Arielle Ford
