Ah, the eternal romantic myth of the soul mate, which is still chugging ahead against all odds, literally. Assuming that your soul partner is chosen at birth, that you are around the same age, and that love is obvious at first sight, mathematical estimations suggest that your odds of finding your soul mate are only 1 in 10,000. (0.010 percent). Despite this, a 2011 Marist poll found that nearly three out of four people feel they are destined to meet the right partner.

Let's face it, your chances of winning the Powerball lottery are better than your chances of finding a mythological soul mate. Simply put, the numbers aren't on your side. However, poor chances aren't the only reason to discard the soul mate belief. The truth is that looking for your soul mate is a great way to end yourself in an unhappy marriage or alone.
Does everyone find their soulmates?
Have you ever imagined what it might be like to finally meet your soulmate? Although not everyone believes in soulmates (which is fine! ), if you do, you might question, “How will I know when I've met the one?” The answer is that it is unique to each individual as many people who have met their soulmate can attest.
Why do some people never find love?
When it comes to love, self-confidence and self-esteem are crucial. Many people, however, are unable to find love because they do not believe they are deserving of it. These kinds of beliefs can have deep roots that date back to childhood and can have a significant impact on our lives.
If you suffer from low self-esteem and acute emotions of self-doubt, it's time to acknowledge that your lack of self-assurance is effecting your behavior and keeping others at bay. “Bringing these beliefs and related feelings into conscious awareness, as well as practicing affirmations that contradict these beliefs, can be a critical step towards deprogramming these beliefs,” Zarrabi advises. Say it with me: You're worth it. Exploring these sentiments with the support of a therapist or counselor can also be therapeutic.
What age do you meet your soulmate?
The typical woman discovers her life partner at the age of 25, while males are more likely to find their soulmate at the age of 28, with half of people finding ‘the one' in their twenties, according to the study.
They also discovered that most people waited five months to declare “I love you” for the first time, as well as update their relationship status on Facebook, and six months to be granted their own drawer at their partner's house.
How many Soulmates do we have?
You can have multiple soulmates. “You only have one twin flame,” says the narrator. According to the belief, if you meet someone with whom you have a strong connection, there's a good chance they're a member of your larger soul family.
Where do soulmates meet?
If you're anything like me, you'll look like a clammy, wet trainwreck after every workout. The gym isn't the place to flaunt your gorgeous side, but you don't have to look like a swan all of the time if you're serious about someone. If there's a regular at the gym you'd want to meet, go up to him or her when you're ready. Not to go all schoolgirl on you, but if approaching strangers makes you anxious, bring a friend with you. You're not the only one who feels this way.
Who can be soulmate?
A soulmate is someone with whom you have a natural or profound connection. Similarity, love, romance, platonic relationships, comfort, intimacy, sexuality, sexual activity, spirituality, compatibility, and trust are all examples of this.
What are the signs of your soulmate?
2. They're your closest companion.
Because friendship is the best basis for every relationship, why do you think so many rom coms include two BFFs who marry? It's a fantastic indicator if you and your SO have a trustworthy, happy friendship.
3. When you're among them, you feel at ease.
Because you spend so much time with your significant other, you should feel at ease and at ease when you're with them. Naturally, there will be butterflies and nerves at first, but once you've gotten to know one other, it should seem completely natural.
Are some people meant to be single?
Some people consciously prefer to be single, while others simply never find the right person for whom they are willing to give up their prized independence.
And some people believe they are doing everything they can to locate the ideal person and are baffled as to why things never work out.
Some people have obstacles in the way of creating a healthy, long-term relationship, but they don't know what they are.
So, in this essay, we'll look at what's keeping you from finding love and why being single may be a lovely, fulfilling existence.
Is it possible to be forever alone?
Finally, you must accept responsibility for your level of enjoyment in life.
What are your requirements? Are you aware of their existence? If that's the case, are you making an attempt to meet those needs?
In an ideal interdependent relationship, each partner would meet their own needs about 80% of the time (via work, interests, friendships, etc.) and 20% of the time through their primary partnership.
Obviously, these figures will vary from partner to couple and during different stages of a relationship's development.
Because your focus is poured into your hyper-dependent child, you may lean on each other less (or more) when you have newborn children in your home. Perhaps you or your partner is diagnosed with a difficult illness, and one of you need more help than the other, resulting in a lopsided giving/receiving ratio for a while. Fine.
But, again, how would you adjust if you knew no one would ever come to your rescue and you had to meet your own needs without the help of a romantic relationship?
How To Make Your Single Life As Amazing As Possible
Perhaps you recognize the importance of physical touch in your life and schedule weekly massages, frequent haircuts (including scalp massages), and seek the support of a buddy to cuddle with you while you watch a movie.
Maybe you enjoy working out but can't seem to find the drive to go to the gym on a regular basis. Rather of waiting for your future spouse in the parking lot of your local gym (with a bag of protein powder as bait), discover a way to make your connection with exercise organically gratifying and good.
The point of this thought experiment isn't so much to make friends with the idea of being alone forever as it is to see where your mind might want to be lazy and lean on the excuse of, “Once I find the right person, I won't have to do any of this for myself, so I might as well not even start working on it in the meantime.”
Is It Even Possible To Be Alone Forever?
No one can ever genuinely be alone, even if they are romantically alone. Unless their mind convinces them otherwise.
“The mind is a realm unto itself, capable of creating a heaven of hell, a hell of bliss.”
With a close-knit circle of friends who love and support you, you can enjoy a healthy social life. You may have a strong desire to be involved in the lives of your family members. You can be a wonderful aunt or uncle to your siblings' children or a surrogate aunt or uncle to the children of your friends.
You may help out by volunteering. You can improve your interactions with coworkers, industry peers, and employees. You have the potential to become a pillar in your community.
We have no control over our life, and we have no influence over what happens to us. However, we can always choose how we react to what life throws at us. Even if your journey leads you to long periods of singledom, you will only ever be alone if your mind convinces you that you are.
Human interaction can be found everywhere around you. All it takes is for you to give it a chance and invest in it.
How To Date Yourself
Remove three sheets of paper from the stack. Write the following at the top of each piece of paper:
– The Things I Used To Enjoy Doing But No Longer Do (For No Good Reason)
Then write anywhere between 20 and 100 items per list. Sit with these prompts for a while and give them your whole attention.
Then, over the next several weeks, pick a few of the greatest leverage activities (i.e., the highest ROI of work to happiness ratio) that you could do, and actually do them.
I completed this exact exercise a few months ago and discovered how much I missed skating, performing music with friends, and doing gymnastics. So I started putting all three of those things in my weekly schedule, and it's been great.
In Conclusion…
Finally, establishing a happy single life is the only piece of advise I truly believe in when it comes to calling in the one.
Make your life so full of fire, energy, and joy that it will be fantastic in and of itself, regardless of whether or not you are intended to be in a relationship.
If you do this, your lonely nights will become less lonely. Because you'll be surrounded by people who care about you, and you'll be content in your own company.
Why focus your efforts on one person when you could have a similar good impact on billions? While it may be argued that loving one person sincerely is the same as loving all people (because we are all divine expressions of God, blah blah blah), just treating one person in this way feels flat and unduly egoic and'special.'
The aim of life isn't to find that one particular person into whom you can pour your heart and soul… it's to become the thing you're looking for (love, tenderness, compassion, kindness, and so on) and live out that fundamental value in all of your daily acts.
