“People think a soul mate is your perfect fit, and that's what everyone wants. But a true soul mate is a mirror, the person who shows you everything that is holding you back, the person who brings you to your own attention so you can change your life.
A true soul mate is probably the most important person you'll ever meet, because they tear down your walls and smack you awake. But to live with a soul mate forever? Nah. Too painful. Soul mates, they come into your life just to reveal another layer of yourself to you, and then leave.
A soul mates purpose is to shake you up, tear apart your ego a little bit, show you your obstacles and addictions, break your heart open so new light can get in, make you so desperate and out of control that you have to transform your life, then introduce you to your spiritual master...”
― Elizabeth Gilbert; Eat, Pray, Love
This is going to be short and sweet. I ran across this today and realized that I used that word, "Soulmate", in a previous post and this just laid it out perfectly. We do not understand the things that happen in our lives but people come and people go to teach us things about ourselves that we either do not see or do not want to see.
Thanks for helping me grow Ryan.
