In search of soulmate

I have seen people spending years in search of a soul mate trying to see if the person they meet fits into their imagined picture of a perfect man or woman. They check them against their check list. They look for the right package and it does not work that way. It is the package you are after and that is what you will keep finding. And you will be hurt and disappointed again and again and eventually you join thousands of other men and women who like you have given up hope. How does it matter how tall or short a person is, how thin, how many degrees he has, how much money he earns. Why should you be concerned with what it looks like from outside. How many examples of picture perfect marriages that turned out to be nightmares do you need. Every week another divorce of a famous couple. You wonder how did it happen. They looked so perfect match.

Stop looking for the right packagings. They look beautiful from outside but what matters is the gift inside it. Wrappings are just used to decorate the gift. They are temporary, meant to be discarded. It is the gift, the content, the gem inside that counts ultimately.

What matters is your feelings. How do you feel when you are together,when it is the just the two of you , alone with no one looking. What happens when you simply take his hands into yours, when you look straight into his eyes.

Let it go. Let go of the need for the beautiful pictures. Our reality, so powerfully reflective gives us messages again and again. Is'nt it time we listen. Is'nt it time to live our own life and not the one others expect us to live. If you really want a soul mate, don't miss the opportunity when he comes along.
