I believe the word "perfection" should be changed to "pure fiction" - it's just not possible!
Arielle FordWhen deep down in the core of your being you believe that your soulmate exists, there is no limit to the ways he or she can enter your life.
Arielle FordJust like you, your partner wants to be loved for who they are, in spite of their shortcomings. Make an effort to let them know they are loved, even if some of their behavior is not. Work towards co-creative solutions.
Arielle FordWe aren't born with the innate knowledge of how to "do" relationship. Even worse, we've been brainwashed by modern day society to look for and seek perfection, which leads to an ongoing state of frustration and dissatisfaction.
Arielle FordMeeting your soulmate has a certain amount of meant-to-be-ness to it, AND it requires a big dose of make-it-happen-ness.
Arielle FordAfter a few (or many) bad relationships, its so easy to shut down, give up, and stop believing that the right person is out there for us. Our hearts yearn to fall in love, but our minds insist its not possible, and we enter into a tug-of-war with ourselves. Its as if one part of us is screaming, Yes! I deserve a great relationship! while another part insists, Ill never find him or her. When our beliefs contradict our desires, we experience an inner conflict that not only paralyzes us, but can actually prevent us from recognizing the possibilities for love that exist all around us.
