Does Everyone Have a Soulmate?

Not everyone is here to have a soulmate. We are souls having a human experience in order to evolve. For some of us that may mean having a terminal illness as a life experience, so we can be nurtured and loved through a difficult time.

I believe that people have many soulmates and a soulmate is not necessarily the person you will spend the rest of your life with but rather someone who will teach you a life lesson or create a period of intense passion from which you will learn the importance of making connections in life.

Not one person is destined to be alone. We can all reach that happiness and bondage with someone else if we truly want it and seek it. I believe we all have the right to be happy and find that happiness with someone else. The thing is, some people want to find their entire happiness with someone else and that is wrong because before we can love someone else or be loved we need to love ourselves first and it is best to fulfill yourself as an individual first so that way we don't become a drag to that special someone of ours.

I believe that everyone has a or no soulmate. It could be either one. Someday, some person might be able to find their soulmate, or they might not. If they don't, then they can find a way to be happy, with out a mate. most people have soulmates though. The perfect person to make their life whole.

I certainly hope so! If there is no such thing, then alot of us have been fed a line of baloney. And, I actually think we all have several soul mates out there. It's just a matter of finding them, or even just one of them.

Many men and women spend their lives looking for that special life partner, that kindred spirit, that soul mate with whom they can share life and love.

It would be difficult indeed to find a soul mate if you were to accept the theory of soul mates presented by Aristophanes. In Plato's Symposium, Aristophanes asserted that human beings originally consisted of four arms, four legs, and one head made up of two faces.

In reality, a soul mate is generally considered to be someone with whom you share abiding love, affinity and intimacy. Your soul mate would be a kindred spirit. It would be impossible to recognize your soul mate, even if he or she were standing right in front of you, if you did not first know yourself. Socrates said, "The unexamined life is not worth living."

To find your soul mate, you must first examine your own life. You must know what you want out of life, what type of a person with whom you want to share your life, and, above all, you must know what makes you happy.

Abraham Lincoln said, "Most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be." It's sad, but true, that making up your mind to be happy may very well involve altering your expectations. If you expect less, you are more apt to be happy with what you have. In finding a soul mate, you must have realistic expectations as to a suitable person to fill that bill, as none of us are perfect. A good starting point for finding a soul mate is to foster lasting friendships first.

I believe it is definately true that people should find themselves first before looking for a soul mate. Desparation is definately a contributing factor in the ongoing confusion people come across in the dating scene. I especially liked the philosophical references to soul searching, conveying the truth that finding the right person has never been an easy thing to do!

Not possible. Male to female ratio would suggest that not everyone will find the love of their life. Many adults, sadly, are still victims of the Disney complex. Life does not work that way. Go to your local homeless shelter and ask men in their 60's if they believe that ms. right is drawing near.

I really liked your frankness and your honesty about your own life. It made your article more complete and I enjoyed it very much. You must be a fasinating woman to have so many suitors. Sometimes our best friend can turn out to be our best partner.

Outstanding! When you watch the pot, the water won't boil! When you are looking for love, you won't find it. When it is the farthest thing from your mind, it comes knocking on your door! You have summed this up nicely!

Everyone wants to feel love. We want to be in love and to know that we are loved by someone. We dream about it. Sometimes secretly when we’re alone at night. Fantasizing about the perfect partner. A person who “gets” us.

It seems that the term soulmate is mythical, isn’t it? The term soulmate, based on the definition above, is not stated in the Holy Scriptures. There is no such thing as a twin soul or the only other half of one’s soul, whom each one of us should find and join.

The soulmate mythology tells of two persons, which are twin souls, and half souls originally formed as one and will ultimately be completed as one. On the other hand, the Bible tells of many persons, which are many souls, spiritually formed as one. What does this mean again? In the concept of soul mate, you can only have true happiness in marriage and life, if you will find that one person whom is your soulmate.

I never knew Soulmates existed until I found mine. It was unimaginable for me to think this level of harmony could exist between two people until I found Deypika. I talk from personal experience. Everything I write and speak about is something I have applied and tested.

You attract your Soulmate based on the faith and sincerity of your heart and how much you cleanse your heart from self limiting beliefs and pain from past relationships.

Most important quality is having undaunted faith that there is an ideal mate for you. Do some research on the internet and you will find tons of great thinkers who have spoken about the Soulmate concept, I did not invent it.

Most people have a weak desire to find the one. People often come to me with a “wish” to be with their Soulmate but not the will-power to attain it. A wean desire is as good as no desire.

Deeply introspect and ask yourself these questions. Finding the answers will lead you on the right path. Knowing what you want and why you want it will ultimately lead to you attract “the one.”

Time and again I have had my heart broken and my hopes dashed. I'm considered attractive, I'm kind, generous, sensitive, smart, intelligent, warm, and fun to be with. So is there really someone out there for everyone?

Unfortunately there are not such guarantees. One may speak of soulmates. But the real question is how to find them. And what about if they are already with someone.

Viktoria, do you believe that soulmates really exist??? I think there are no soulmates for anyone. There are just people who are more or less compatible with each other and nothing more. Relationships is a hard work, don't wait that someone just will come to your life and turn it into a fairy tale.

I think you are talking only about intimate partners. 20 years me and my husband built our relationships. The result is not bad. But we are not soulmates, we have so different interests and we complement each other.

oh, and that's great. My ex hubby and I just didn't manage to save our marriage. When we came up to a difficult period in our relitionships - nither wanted to work it out and we broke up. That's why I'm sure that there are no soulmates out there - each relationships require hard work.
