It seems that we often confuse amazing and easy. We run from chaos and then wonder why mediocrity bores us—yet, in terms of love, meeting our souls desire will ruin us from the outside in so that we can begin fulfilling our soul’s contract.

In this life, we all start off on the path that we think we should be on; but, in truth, sometimes that differs greatly from where we are supposed to be. We make choices based on our upbringing and familial conditioning, never pausing to consider if we are actually following our own hearts or the expectations of those closest to us.

That is until our souls mate enters our lives. This connection arises with the purpose of upsetting the status quo so that we might be redirected on the path of our hearts. This means they will ruin essentially anything and everything that keeps us small forcing us to look out of ourselves and grow and reach for what we are meant for.

This person is supposed to trigger us, and us them, causing havoc. There isn’t any way to become who we are meant to be by remaining who we were. We are not the same person today as we were yesterday nor will we be the same person tomorrow as we are today.

Our soul’s joy shows up when we are ready to awaken, to raise consciousness, and to learn to practice and embody unconditional love, which is the highest vibration of our energy. This connection is not only to trigger us so that we might move through the stages of personal development, but also to test and learn how to build unconditional love.

We can’t change this; we can battle it, run from it, and ignore it, but, in the end, we need to embrace it— in spite of our former self. The person your soul chooses for this journey will inspire and encourage. No doubt they will make you question your own mind, lose your mind and wrench your gut and cause you to lose sleep because they challenge you to be your best self, but they will also be at your side whispering, “You got this.”
