Answering The Question on Whether Your Soulmate Really Exists

Something we are all drawn to find out and question about: when will I find my soulmate? Is there one waiting for me or I’m really meant to meet my soulmate in this life? While questioning about it, many forget or don’t even realize we have many soulmates in this life, and the person doesn’t have to be our lover or spouse. It could be our best friend, our colleague or even someone who comes into our lives at a certain moment when we need them the most just to leave us after the help was offered. That’s the sign that their mission is over and we have to continue on separate ways.

A soulmate or a life partner?

It is believed that a soulmate is a person who is aligned with your soul and inner self, and comes to challenge you in becoming more connected with yourself and aware of who you are and what your purpose is in this life. If they succeed in this task, soulmates move on and usually they split ways physically. On the other hand, a life partner is a good friend, caring and loving person who supports you in your endeavors, and is definitely someone who you can trust and lean to receive help throughout this life. You share love and emotions for this person, have common visions and dreams, and are usually in perfect sync with each other's needs and wants. Seeing things from this perspective, one might want a life partner rather than a soulmate, although many of us think a soulmate is what we actually want.

Soulmates and their role in this life

While having your soulmate by your side it’s a great thing, it’s important to acknowledge they will leave at some point when the moment is right. You might not feel like it’s time to let go and create frustration and sadness when this happens, but know that this is happening with a reason and for your higher good. If you haven’t learned the lessons to be learned, then another soulmate might appear in your life to help you transcend to a higher level of consciousness, or you will repeat the relationship in another life in slightly similar circumstances.

Karma and relationships

People always wondered if there is a direct connection between the way we choose our partners and our past lives, and the way we choose to communicate our feelings and emotions. Wanting to know the answer to this question has brought me to Barbara Y. Martin’s book, Karma and Reincarnation: Unlocking Your 800 Lives to Enlightenment, in which she talks about the different ways we choose to return to a certain person when we reincarnate. It’s fascinating to see that reincarnation does exist and most of the time we choose to return in other body trying to pick up where we left in our previous life. We do so because we need to heal our karma and work towards a predefined goal, one we chose before our birth.

Some ending thoughts worth considering

Most of the times, when we are asking for our soulmate to come into our lives, is actually waiting for a life partner to stay by and give us a helping hand when we need it. Soulmates really exist, but they are meant to come in our lives when we are ready to receive them and learn the lessons we need to learn, not to stay with us for the rest of our lives, as the fairy tales stories made us believe. A soulmate will uplift your soul and spirit, teach you why you were born in this world and help you connect with your higher self in a very profound way. With the help of your soulmate, you will come to discover who you really are and honor your true self, learning to follow your intuition and choose the best path in your life. It’s only up to you to decide if you are looking and wanting a soulmate, or are you rather wishing to have a life partner alongside.
