How do you know your soul mate .... is there some thing that is different?

To give back to you
What you've given to me
Would take me nearly an eternity
Through all the special time we've shared
You have taught me to love, learn, and care
Through all the hard times we've been through
Helps to prove our love is true

To give back to you
What you've given to me
Would take me nearly an eternity
But if that's what it takes
It's what I'll do
To prove the love
That I feel for you.


The clock is ticking

you know i dont believe in the concept of soulmates. but a mate is who stands by you and doesnt asks "why". i dont know... its to simple and to complicated at the same time.

To me that soul mate stuff is nothing but a joke. Here is a book to back up my thoughts too:

I'm going to agree with both sides in this discussion. *smiles*

In doing so, M.W. explains how you can become your own soulmate. This process requires that you reject the idea that only another person (the elusive soulmate) can bring you happiness, and embrace the power of your own will in achieving anything you can imagine.

Filled with specific details on identifying your heart's desires, then creating a plan to achieve them, this book is an ideal tool for making your dream a reality. There Are No Soulmates is a terrific way to help you prepare for the fantastic life you deserve, even if you're single."

Yeah, movies and fairytails have told us that there's somebody for everyone, and in reality, it's true, but unfortunately a helluva lot of the members of the human race never get to meet that someone. The world is a big place filled with millions of people, all different, and with all those people, it'd be hard to say that there isn't someone for everyone.

Swetha's got the answer down pretty well, my definition of 'soulmate' is a person that meshs well with you, and you with them. Being around them makes you happy, doing things with them is fun, etc. You can see where I'm going with this. A soulmate does not have to be a lover, they could be a very close friend, too, although most look at the term as meaning the love of your life.

But (yeah, the dreaded 'but') you need to be happy with yourself first and that can be a tough thing to do. You need to find what makes you happy within yourself. a sense of worth, so to speak, in your own eyes, and lots of people never find the answer to that. They look and look, and they find things that make 'em happy for a time, but soon they're lookin' again. But too many are lookin' in the wrong place first, outside at material things, rather than inside to define what they're really lookin' for first.

I've not read any of this author's works, so I can't really say whether this book is a good read, but she sounds like she's got the right idea.
