Did you know that your soul mate could be a cloud, a rock, a leaf, or even rain?

The concept of a soul mate may be more romanticized that it truly is. The truth may be farther away. If at all soul mates exist, they may not necessarily be romantic partners, but could hide amidst your friends, siblings, parents, distant relatives, or even pets! Soul mates could even be a group of beings, a bunch of souls with similar destinies on planet Earth, who are at similar points in their journey and have reached common landmarks. We may not even meet our soul mates in our life, as they could be at another corner of the universe, in another form. The question rather is why do seek soul mates? Why do they mean so much to us?

Some think it is the person who was created to be with you and you with them. An extension of this idea is that soul mates were originally created as one soul that was then split in two. There is also the belief that a soul mate is someone with whom we have had a deep and meaningful partnership in a past life. Others feel that it would be someone we are drawn to with no control and the person we are with, whomever they may be, is our soul mate. Still others have the opinion that anyone can be your soul mate if you are willing to work on the relationship.
