Playmates vs. Soul mate

by Victoria Thornton

First, we must be open with ourselves about who we really are and what our soul yearns for. Only you and God know what is truly in your heart and mind. Only you know what will make you truly happy and whole.

In order to find your Soulmate you have to know you, first. You must be willing to listen to that inner voice. Is that voice telling you that the nerdy person you enjoy talking and sharing your thoughts with, could it be him? What about that friend who is always willing to go the extra mile for you when no one else will? Oh no! He's too short or too tall, balding or too hairy, and on and on?

Just too ordinary looking for me!

Then there's that girl who makes you feel so special when you're around her, but she doesn't match that ideal you have conjured in your head. She's too tall, not slender enough, not light or dark enough, not shapely enough, not attractive enough, and on and on. She just couldn't be for me! So what if he or she doesn't look like Brad Pitt or Selma Hayeck! He or she is going to treat you like the jewel that you are. Not only that, his or her soul and yours will commune in ways you never imagined possible!

In order to heed that voice, we have to put on the back burner our own superficial thinking. Could it be that your inner desire is for a truly genuine person with a good heart?

If you enjoy playing, stay on the playground. There are plenty of Playmates out there to occupy your time. But don't spend too much time playing or you may play your life away. Eventually the playing loses it appeal and your soul begins to crave a deeper, more meaningful connection. Your soul begins to crave your Soul mate.

Don't let People, Problems & the Pain of your Past Pause your Present; punish your Person; Prison your Potential & Paralyze your Progress. I will begin walking boldly into my future and will not allow others to hold me back...

Remember that GREAT love and GREAT achievement involve GREAT risk.†
