If you haven’t been successful in cultivating an intimate relationship in spite of your continuing attempts, and are tired of disappointments, failed relationships, unfulfilled promises and/or partners who mislead you, you may resort to believing that you haven’t met your soul-mate yet. He/she hasn’t “showed-up” yet. When he/she will, the two of you will “hit it right away” and you’ll have the wonderful relationship you dream of.
But how long should you wait?
Is there anything you can do – while waiting - to ensure you will indeed meet your soul-mate?
It is very possible that not being able to develop a successful intimate relationship until now is not a question of “not meeting the right person yet” and “waiting to meet your soul-mate” (which is a very comfortable thought), but that something in you – of which you are not aware - obstructs your attempts.
When you understand what this “something” is and realize how it controls you and harms your relationships, you can make the necessary changes and become able to find a partner and cultivate a satisfying intimate relationship.
ALARMING THOUGHTS YOU NEED TO BECOME AWARE OF
1. As long as you don’t know what this “something” is, you won’t be able to connect with another person at the most intimate, soul-level.
2. As long as you are not aware of yourself and of the ways in which you sabotage your attempts at relationships, you won’t even notice when a potential “soul-mate” partner will be standing in front of you.
3. If you will, somehow, begin dating this person, you’ll probably behave and react in the same harmful ways you did with previous partners, and will therefore sabotage the “potential” relationship.
IF YOU WANT TO MEET YOUR “SOUL-MATE”, MEET YOURSELF FIRST
Honestly wishing to meet your soul-mate is not a matter of “sitting and waiting” for this “special person” to arrive. It begins with meeting first yourself: connecting with “the real you”; getting to meet sides of yourself you might have not known before: your fears and needs; your perception of reality and belief-system; the attitudes you have about partners and relationships; the traits you deny and reject within yourself which you project into your partners; the messages you have unconsciously internalized while growing up which control your attitudes, reactions and behaviors.
Meeting yourself first is a matter of becoming aware of the many sides of YOU which you haven’t been aware of until now. It’s a matter of getting connected with YOUR OWN SOUL.
It is only when you truly connect with your own soul that you can authentically connect with your soul- mate.
SELF-AWARENESS CAN HELP YOU CONNECT WITH YOUR OWN SOUL
In order to connect with your own soul you need to develop Self-Awareness: get to know and understand yourself better, find out things about yourself you haven’t been aware of until now, get in touch with your needs and desires, expectations and fantasies, connect to and act according to your soul’s deepest truth.
It is then that you will become closer to connecting with your soul-mate.
