Finding Our Soul Mate

The self we are so desperately seeking lies waiting inside each one of us for the removal of the mask that will reveal them. We find but pieces of this perfect partner in another.

Ultimately no one human being can be all that we desire and long for in a partner. The seeming resignation that comes from letting this truth touch you can be a freedom: giving yourself permission to be who you are, knowing that you cannot be perfect for the one you love. And giving your partners the gift of being cherished, knowing they can never be all that you seek.

To give this gift to our friends and loved ones without bitterness is one of the great opportunities in your life to love. They will feel it, wordlessly, and feel the relief of not being set up to fail as the reward for loving you.

Action: Give your self and those that you play with that most precious gift of freedom: the gift of loving and being loved exactly as you are. Have many playmates.  [smile]
