Soulmate

I just finished read the third book of Stephenie Meyer "Eclipse", it's the third book of the whole tetralogy. Can't wait to read the last one. After reading this novel, I'm thinking bout something. 

Soulmate..

What does it really mean?

In the book, the warewolf has an imprint, imprint is someone that destined for you, or in another word, it's your soulmate.

"It’s so hard to describe. It’s not like love at first sight, really. It’s more like . . .

gravity moves. When you see her, suddenly it’s not the earth holding you here anymore. She does. And

nothing matters more than her. And you would do anything for her, be anything for her. . . . You become

whatever she needs you to be, whether that’s a protector, or a lover, or a friend, or a brother."

That's what Jacob said, in "Eclipse", to describe imprint.

Hmm.. Is it true? That in this big big world, we can find our soulmate?

Okay then, I'm doing little research bout soulmate.

Bout what soulmate means.

And here are the results:

1. Soulmate (or soul mate) is a term sometimes used to designate someone 

with whom one has a feeling of deep and natural affinity, friendship, love, intimacy, sexuality, spirituality and/or compatibility.

A related concept is that of the twin flame or twin soul – which is thought to be the ultimate soulmate, 

the one and only other half of one's soul, for which all souls are driven to find and join. However, not everyone who uses these terms intends them to carry such mystical connotations.

2. One theory of soulmates, presented by Aristophanes in Plato's Symposium,

is that humans originally were combined of four arms, four legs, and a single head made of two faces,

but Zeus feared their power and split them all in half, condemning them to spending their lives searching for the other half to complete them.

3. Spiritual Soulmate Concepts Many religions and spiritual paths believe in reincarnation and the concept of karma.

Through reincarnation, soulmates may spend many lifetimes together in past lives.

Other spiritual methods of searching for one's soulmate are astrology, numerology, palm reading, personality types, and magic.

Modern spritual paths often blend western and eastern philosophies. 

4.  A soulmate may be someone in your life who constantly gets "under your skin" or may be someone who you have a deep, intimate relationship with. 

We believe that we are soulmates because there was an instant feeling of "coming home" when we got together and everyday we recognize how we help one another in our spiritual growth.

We belief that perfect mate that you refer to is certainly out there but you have to be ready and you have to be willing to be conscious in your relationship.

I even found a few steps, how to find soulmate. 

1. Be the person you would love to love. Instead of waiting for your soulmate to appear, make yourself the person you would like to find.

Work on becoming the unique individual you're looking for. Just as you would want your soulmate to be comfortable in their own skin, work on just being yourself.

You'll stand a better chance of getting noticed if you are comfortable, confident, and happy to be you.

Expressing your individuality is the closest you can come to advertising your soulmate potential.

Not only will you stand out, but you'll also be doing things that are more likely to bring you closer to your soulmate, who probably has similar interests and goals.

2. Remember that your soulmate might not be what you expect.

If there's only one person in the world who can be your soulmate, what are the chances that they'll live in your town, look like the people you grew up with, or even speak the same language?

Your soulmate does not have to live in the same country or even the same hemisphere as you.

Be willing to span the globe for your true love. Also, if you're expecting your soulmate to be love at first sight, you might never find what you're looking for.

So keep an open mind. Part of the romance of having a soulmate is being pleasantly surprised. Never change who you are inside.

3. Be patient. Life doesn't normally work on the schedule you envision.

Your soulmate might cross your path when you're 8 or 80 years old.

Don't be surprised either if there is a considerable age difference between the two of you.

Yes, you might look forward to spending the majority of your life with your soulmate—perhaps buying a house, getting married, starting a family—but things do not always go as you plan.

Your soulmate will color your world no matter how old you are, so don't rush into things, or else you might end up forcing the wrong person into the soulmate box, which will cause pain for everyone involved.

4. Accept people for who they are, not who you want them to be.

When you've got all these fantasies flying around in your head about how wonderful and special your soulmate will be, it can be easy to look for those specific characteristics and features in anyone you get involved with.

Unfortunately, unrealistic expectations can ruin a relationship, and might even chase your soulmate away.

Whoever it is that you think might be your soulmate, appreciate their individuality and trust that if this person is your soulmate, they'll never need to change who they are for you, just like you'll never need to change who you are for them.

That doesn't mean that you can't encourage them to try something new or help them to grow as a person, just don't force things on them that they are not comfortable with.

5. Weather the storms. Contrary to what popular media would have you believe, meeting your soulmate doesn't guarantee "happily ever after."

Things won't get easier when you find that special someone, and in fact, they might get even harder.

Ultimately, a soulmate is someone with whom you can grow, and the only way to grow together is to face challenges together.

So if you put your heart and soul into a relationship, stick with it through the ups and downs, even when you question whether it's meant to be, and you might look back decades later and realize that you were with your soulmate all along.

True love with your soulmate does not grow on its own: it must be cultivated and continually nurtured. So be lovable, and be willing to love like there is no tomorrow.

Someone that make u feel whole, someone that make u feel home,

Someone that will color up your life,

Someone that will light up your day, 

Someone to be your shining star,

Someone that will be the center of your universe,

Someone to spend this short life through,

Someone that u can share every single thing and will still be there for u..

Hope that we can be lucky enough to find that kind of person in our life, 

insya Allah,

Amin..
