A true soul mate is probably the most important person you'll ever
meet, because they tear down your walls and smack you awake. But to
live with a soul mate forever? Nah. Too painful. Soul mates, they come
into your life just to reveal another layer of yourself to you, and
then leave.
A soul mates purpose is to shake you up, tear apart
your ego a little bit, show you your obstacles and addictions, break
your heart open so new light can get in, make you so desperate and out
of control that you have to transform your life, then introduce you to
your spiritual master...”
