People think a soul mate is your perfect fit, and that's what everyone wants. But a true soul mate is a mirror, the person who shows you everything that is holding you back, the person who brings you to your own attention so you can change your life.
A true soul mate is probably the most important person you'll ever meet, because they tear down your walls and smack you awake. But to live with a soul mate forever? Nah. Too painful. Soul mates, they come into your life just to reveal another layer of yourself to you, and then leave.
A soul mates purpose is to shake you up, tear apart your ego a little bit, show you your obstacles and addictions, break your heart open so new light can get in, make you so desperate and out of control that you have to transform your life, then introduce you to your spiritual master..."

I watched Eat, Pray, Love about two weeks ago, not only did I love it because Julia was in it but IT WAS SUCH AN INSPIRATIONAL MOVIE! I guess it just hit all the buttons I needed attention to at the time.
Every girl these days is so set on having a boyfriend, finding your husband at a young age, loving your high school sweet heart and having that wraparound porch, white picket fence and hydrangea’s. Well, life doesn’t and most of the time never works out that way. If you it does your lucky, or your living a lie.
This movie reassured me on my outlook on relationships right now; you really don’t need a man to make you happy. YOU MAKE YOU HAPPY! YOU KNOW WHAT YOU WANT!
Yes, you do need a man to break your heart, humiliate you, take you back, look at your qualities and all you have to offer and say no thank you, before you actually realize what an amazing person you are or you possibly can be once you get off the pity party wagon and become independent.
Being lonely sucks, but it helps you just to sit and be with yourself. To stand to be with yourself in peace for more than an hour is a lot harder than you think or at least for me, maybe I’m crazy.
Happy is an emotion not a state of being, so when people say they are un-happy, well do something about it, it doesn’t take THAT much to alter an emotion.
Sometimes you have to be desperate and out of control to find the right answers.
Sometimes its glass of pinot noir or sometimes its pouring yourself into your work. Once you get past the avoidance that it’s okay to be alone, things are actually pleasant.
As crazy as it seems, today I was walking down the street to class, and just caught myself smiling out of control. Not because someone sent me a sweet nothing, not because anything or anyone just because of me and my living life.
"But a true soul mate is a mirror, the person who shows you everything that is holding you back, the person who brings you to your own attention so you can change your life.”
Never let a man hold you back but NEVER let yourself hold you back from anything short of living your best life.
