Although not everyone believes in soulmates if you provide them with a traditional definition, it’s difficult to argue with the existence of soulmates if a more modern, progressive, and practical definition is utilized. If two human beings experience immense joy even when they do relatively boring things together, if they enjoy eating dinner next to each other at home on a couch more than out at a restaurant, and if they value personal notes and gestures from each other rather than elaborate gifts—then there’s a good chance those two human beings are soulmates.

It’s also important to remember that your soulmate does not necessarily need to be a romantic partner, or a life partner. Regardless of the particular label your relationship happens to carry, if an individual makes you feel as though you are a more complete and better person, then they could very well be your soulmate. When someone meets their soulmate, they experience a deeper kind of peace, and their aura will radiate more positively as a result. A soulmate has the ability to calm you down regardless of how negative or devastating the situation is or the circumstances are.

Greek mythology argues that “humans were originally created with four arms, four legs and a head with two faces. Fearing their power, Zeus split them into two separate parts, condemning them to spend their lives in search of their other halves.” This passage provides insight as to what happens when two soulmates meet: two halves of one being reunite. What’s more, once you have reunited and reconnected with your other half, there is virtually no chance that you will break apart from them again; when two soulmates have met, neither person will truly feel whole or complete without the other person in their life (at least to some degree).

However, this intense attachment should not be feared; a soulmate will both fulfill and enliven you, even when you are not physically close to them. A soulmate will compel you to try to become the absolute best version of yourself, and they will devote much of their own time and energy to helping you become who you genuinely want to be. Yet, there is no need to despair if you haven’t met your soulmate yet, or if it doesn’t seems as though you ever will. The meeting of two soulmates is a spiritual and Universal event, and it must occur naturally and unexpectedly in order to have full impact and effect.

And, again, meeting a soulmate is always well-worth the wait and the faith. Even if the relationship does not begin romantically or ever become romantic, it is sure to be filled with intensity and enlightenment. Although no one truly knows the ultimate origins of soulmates, it seems clear that soulmates share strong past connections from some point in the Universe’s history. With all of this in mind, meeting your soulmate has the potential to completely turn your life around, or to turn it in a more positive direction than it’s already headed in.

It becomes easier to release negative memories and emotions, and it becomes impossible to deny that your relationship is something much more significant than just the two of you as human beings on Earth. Being so in-tune and in-sync with another human being in your life can often be a metaphysical experience; this is why it’s impossible not to know when you’ve met your soulmate.
