How to find your soulmate

Most of us have, at some point of time, wondered where we would find our soulmate - that one special person who is meant for us. While some of us are lucky enough to have already discovered our soulmates, there are those who're probably looking for one.

But are you sure you WILL meet that someone? Are you looking in the right place? Or even for the right person?

So you probably imagine that the special someone you are looking for will simply walk through the door and announce him/herself or send you an e-mail to let you know he/she is in town, eh?

While there is a one-in-a-million possibility that that might happen, you stand a better chance if you actually make an effort to look for him/her. No, we aren't talking about posting a Soulmate Wanted ad. Making an effort starts from the heart. It means being sure of what
you want and having plenty of faith that you WILL meet him/her. 

For those floundering on how-to-go-about it, here goes:

1. Acknowledge that there is someone out there just for you. This is the first and the most important step. Believe with all your heart that just as you are looking for a soulmate, someone else is too – and you might be made for each other. It is only a question of time.

2. Don't be discouraged if you haven't found true love yet. A new attitude and a fresh approach always work wonders. After all, your soulmate could be just a phone call away and you may not even know it! So have faith and hang in there.

3. Know yourself. Sit back and get a clear picture of who you really are. What personality type are you? What is the sort of person most likely to make you happy? What sort of person would you like to spend your life with? These questions are vital and must be answered clearly
and honestly in your mind before you begin your search.

4. Set your personal goals. What kind of life do you want to lead? Is it important for you to have a lot of money? How important is your current job to you? If you have firm answers to these questions, you will not make the mistake of being with someone whose long-term goals
do not match yours.

5. Redefine your search. It might sound strange, but sometimes when you look really hard for a soulmate, he/she may completely elude you. 

This is what relationships expert Rinatta Paries has to say:

"If you want to meet your ideal partner, stop looking for her or him. Socialise as a way to create a rich, satisfying life. Be social to enhance your life and not to look for a partner. When your life works and you are happy, the right partner will be drawn to you."

6. Never compromise. Once you are absolutely certain what kind of soulmate/relationship/life you want for yourself, have faith that it will come to you. Don't lose patience and don't settle for anything less than true love. Remember, if you do, you'll be stuck with a fake. After all, this is supposed to last a lifetime, right?
