It is so refreshing to interact with women who are not looking for something such as their 'soul mate'. It is so nice to interact with women who are looking inside themselves and are finding what they need right there.
I work with a lot of people where life in its self is a problem. I was beginning to think that everyone was that way. So by belonging to the Intention Experiment it brought me close to other women of like minds.
I am enjoying all the varied interests I am seeing in the profiles! Now what specifically would you like to see here on Reboot Your Life? What topics would you like to address? This is YOUR group so let's see what we can do to help YOU!
Hi Sue ... just saw this discussion opening of yours. What really pleases me here is that you mention the fact you enjoy the meeting of people who are not looking outside themselves to find their fullfillment in life. It took me quiet a few years to get to that point myself and I'm overjoyed actually to be able to say wholeheartedly ... I'm free! Free of thinking not to be good enough, that someone elses 'good' should be my 'good' which makes my 'good'not enough, not appropriate, or whatever terms we apply to ourselves to make ourselves smaller. My fullfillment in life is fully in my own hands ... and I have had to learn to really let the fealing of what is appropriate for me in my life come from inside. It has given me time and patience ... because it doesn't come easily ... it even showed me how prone I am to addictions! To have these processes incubate I needed to sort of hang in limbo to give my soul the opportunity to inspire me through my intuition ... and by doing all kinds of silly computergames a lot of insights and ideas have seeped in this last year. I now dare to trust myself a lot better! Hmmm ... does this make any semce to you?
I'm not struck by the upset so many people feel .. I'm only glad if my effort to assist them helpes them to find themselves!
Well, I was alone for almost 10 years... and I want to be single and free!!! I was focus on to heal myself... But someday I think... I´m running away from love.. I´m running away from hapinnes!
My opinion is... you can have both... Spiritual life and Marital life! In my short experiencie women who always talk about soul mate and they don´t find them ... it´s because they dont´want to.
Is it better to have a husband? Is it worse?... Depend on you!
I agree with you about it depending on the person whether marriage is better to have or not. I have been married 26 years after being married twice before. I swore I would never get married again and this one lasted 26 years. LOL He is DEFINITELY my Soul Mate.
I believe that women who talk about not finding their soul mates don't know what true soul mates really are. It is not the happily ever after that most women think. Relationships, whether soul mates or not, require work! I think women who don't find their soul mates aren't ready yet. They have to work on themselves more before they can have that wonderful relationship.
I agree you can have a spiritual life and a marital life! I have both. I consul people on that very subject, among other topics. That is the reason for my title, Reboot Your Life, because that is what my life revolves around: rebooting my life and helping others reboot theirs.
I noticed that you said you were alone for almost 10 years but I didn't see where you said you were lonely. There is a difference and maybe that is why you wanted to be single and free. Because there wasn't much loneliness. Just a thought.
I don't believe in Soul Mates. I believe that is more than one person who you could be happy with in this world. And you are right, marriage is a lot of work. My first marriage of 8 yrs gave me two fine sons but little else. I was single for 8 yrs and it was hard. I was in a church that had a lot of single people and they also gave relationship classes each week. I learned a LOT from those. I did work on myself those 8 years so I guess it was time when I met my Rick. We were both drivers. We drove for a non profit company that transported elderly, handicapped, vetrans, special needs children. He and I communicate REALLY well and we do have our arguments. But we still respect each other after it's all over and we both love God. We don't go to church anymore but still believe in God. I am really enjoying my life, but my life wouldn't end if he were no longer in it. Just my ramblings on a Sunday evening. Smiles, Karen
I believe in soul families and soul mates. I do believe there are more than one person out there for everyone. However, I believe that there is one person that you connect with more than the others spiritually. To me that is a soul mate. It doesn't have to be a spouse. I am lucky that my soul mate is my husband. The way we met, the way we have been together for 26 years through all the problems, the growth that we have attained, and many other things have made me realize that we were 'meant' to be together. Oh, we fight!!!! hahaha Not as much since I have learned on my journey. But he is my major lesson in life and I believe I am his. For without each other we would not have learned what we have so far and would be able to apply those lessons to other situations.
I am so glad you have someone you can share your life and journey with! It is so helpful and sometimes easier (sometimes not *grin*). But it is definitely not a lonesome journey when you have someone with you.
