Subject: RE: BS: has any1 REALLY found their soulmate yet
Trying to explain what a soul mate (or someone you feel really connected to on a deep level.. pick you own words)is is an impossible task. I know what doesn't necessarily make a soul mate. My first wife had more shared interests with me than any person I have ever met in my life. She scored a ten on the Shared Interest scale. We both professed a strong faith, which should have been the bond that might have held us together. It didn't work. There are many other things that come into play.. maturity, neediness, GENEROSITY OF SPIRT (sorry about that... I felt the need to emphasize that,) the ability to forgive and the ability to compromise.

A true soulmate allows you to be fearless in presenting yourself as you are. (Maybe Mr. Rogers is the ultimate soulmate?) I think that in order to BE a soulmate, you have to have humility. That means that you have to be comfortable with who you are, first. You have to accept yourself and love yourself without apology or excuses. If you can't do that, no sense searching for a soul mate.

You ain't prepared for one yet.
