“People think a soul mate is your perfect fit, and that’s what everyone wants. But a true soul mate is a mirror, the person who shows you everything that is holding you back, the person who brings you to your own attention so you can change your life. A true soul mate is probably the most important person you’ll ever meet, because they tear down your walls and smack you awake. A soul mate's purpose is to shake you up, tear apart your ego a little bit, show you your obstacles and addictions, break your heart open so new light can get in, make you so out of control that you have to transform your life…”
- Elizabeth Gilbert

Hi Barry! Thank you for the reference to my blog :)
ReplyDeleteIs everything ok? You haven't been around here in a few days and I've heard in the news that there's been some kind of snow-storm in Canada, somwhere near Toronto maybe... I'm not sure! and there were hundreds of cars with people inside that couldn't come out!
I hope you and your loved ones are ok!

great quote and true!
ReplyDeleteSuch a thought provoking quote. I enjoyed Eat Pray Love but I haven't read her second book on marriage yet. I love the photo too!
ReplyDeleteSo true... my friend Brian put that mirror in front of me and it nearly cost us our friendship. I wasn't quite ready for what I saw. It wasn't good... six years later here we are, still BFFs and growing every day.
