Travel this path up and down
Try to make square out of rounds
The sound


Of those 3 words
Usually keep me high as a bird
For these words


I thought was sacred
Wish i could wake up and see a smile facen
But i toss and turn waiten for gracen


Who knows what happens when we die
Who knows if that person is really telling a lie
Sparkles from the eye


Smiles from that beautiful face make my heart sing
Never be another from the joy she may bring
Not just a fling


My soulja in this illuminati
Be my goddess let me be your God body
Cause its somebody


Out there for winter,summer,fall and spring
Tell me the word soul mate is it really a such thing?????

The common idea of a “soul mate” is that for every person, there is another person who is a “perfect fit,” and if you marry anyone other than this soul mate, you will never be happy.

Being soul mates is both a position and a practice.

A husband and wife are soul mates in that they are “one flesh,” spiritually, physically, and emotionally united to each other.

In practice, though, there is a process of taking what a couple is, soul mates, and making that a day-by-day reality. True soul mate oneness is only possible by implementing the biblical pattern of marriage.

Many people openly and consciously yearn for a soulmate. They may even believe one person is out there for them, that "right" person.

We all hold some unconscious list of notions describing an "ideal" relationship partner. Often we recite parts of this list as what we want in a partner.

But reality inevitably fails to match our ideals. And we judge and react to real people according to our ideals.

Soulmates is a paradox that goes beyond fantasies, myths, empty hopes or hype. It may get you to realize something vital about relationships, no matter what you believe about soulmates.

Love at first sight = Potential Soulmates

Love that overcomes challenges = Real-World Soulmates

Real-world soulmates are two partners who engage in overcoming challenges that test their relationship. Real-world soulmates are tempered by time, like metal by fire. Time reveals that they persistently chose to learn and grow when confronted by challenges.

All relationships get tested and challenged, simply because all of us have some personal growth to do — no matter who your partner is. Soulmates are partners who actually do their growth in the face of a challenge.

Many couples start off with great hopes and dreams, are potential soulmates, but then falter when challenges arise.

With today's high rate of relationship dissatisfaction — and divorce — it's time for major change. Regardless of intellectual beliefs, most of us unconsciously hold onto a fantasy-based soulmate myth.

It takes more than just love — or that incomparable opening and expansion in the honeymoon — to have a lasting relationship. Countless couples start with total positive feelings of being in love, and then somewhere down the road, they painfully split up. What does this reality tell us?

The myth of "soulmates" is about a relationship that is blue sky forever. Always sunny, and that sunshine pours down on us, brightens us up, lifts us.

In a real-world relationship, challenges come. The sky occasionally clouds. We are asked to stay present with what is — not run and hide, waiting for the rainy day to pass. We are challenged to put aside limiting beliefs and embrace the rain, realizing that even rain has a positive purpose.

You are real-world soulmates if you're both doing your personal growth work in the face of challenges.

You cannot know it by the honeymoon phase alone. To know you are real-world soulmates, you need to see how you both show up to work with real-world upsets, sensitivities, differences and challenges.

The solidity and clarity of this feeling of being "soulmates" is based on the personal growth which enables you, yourself, to stay open even in the face of a challenge, problem or emotionally-charged issue. It is in that openness that these difficulties resolve and love grows even stronger.

In doing that work, you evolve yourself and your soul matures.

The requirement is being willing to take a challenge to heart and respond to it by learning new tools, strategies or understandings to overcome it.

Doing that enables you to succeed in building a partnership so unparalleled that the best way you have to describe that in words is that you are soulmates.
