same way for you—then that person was never your true soul mate. A person becomes your soul mate by choice, and through commitment and hard work, over a long period of time.
The world is filled with many people who are just as attractive and compatible with you as that person was. Only when you are in a negative mindset would you think you are limited to that one person alone. You’re not.
Again, the more energy you spend on focusing on how that “love of your life” slipped away, the more you miss out on finding the one that you truly should be with. In truth, hundreds of people walking the earth today may have the exact same traits as that person you “lost”. There are many, many potential soul mates out there for you. But if you’re not open to finding and receiving them into your life, you will miss the opportunity to actually become someone’s true soul mate.
To help free yourself of any past regrets, take time to write down exactly what it about your lost love that you cherished the most. Think about the traits that attracted you to that person in the first place, and jot them down.
Then quiet yourself down, and think about this truth: in this wide world, there is someone out there with all of these same traits, and more, who would be willing to become my true soul mate.
Envision it, and map it all out for this next person.
