The Search

I have been thinking about this for a while now. How many of us believe in soulmates? Some of us, including me, are hopeless romantics. Some of us are so practical that we see relationships as deals. Few of us find a fine balance between being practical and being in touch with the emotional side. I, am someone who believes in soulmates. I once read a quote somewhere, which said "If we saw souls instead of bodies, what would be beautiful?"

The topic that I am trying to address isn't about finding a soulmate. We can have many soulmates in one lifetime is what I believe. And again not necessary that we meet all of them one after the other or in this lifetime itself. Finding a soulmate is finding a connection. My sister is my soulmate, my better half is my soulmate, I once met a girl in a bus while traveling to another city (we never got in touch after that one time), but I consider her my soulmate too. Whenever I felt a deep connection of thoughts, ideas, hearts or energies in a natural and almost surreal pace I knew I had met my soulmate.

Finding the perfect job is also like finding your soulmate. Does the workplace inspire me? Do I feel overwhelmed from head to toe when I achieve a career goal? Do I feel ecstatic When I am getting ready for work? Does my work make me happy each day? We find near perfect jobs at times and settle for it feeling comfortable and partially content. But again, when you are comfortable, you don't grow! So we break-up with jobs that keep us from growing and search for a new inspiration, a new love, a soulmate. A place that keeps us happy and teaches us things that help us grow.

Try to find the soul in what you do or who you meet and you will be closer to happiness. And if you haven't found your soulmate yet, do not stop searching!
