As the saying of Aristotle goes” Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies”. Related to this issue, there is one big question that nags the majority of singles which is how to find their soul-mates.

Love is bigger than anyone. Everyone can invite love, but no one can dictate how, when and where love expresses itself. It does not come with conditions, stipulations or codes. It rather radiates independently of person's fears and desires.

Anyone can find his or her great match if they employ their head as well as their heart.

Finding the right person involves foundational points and steps to follow. By focusing on these steps or ways, anyone will be empowered to find and attract his or her lifelong partner.

First of all, our universe grants every soul a twin. Each soul has a perfect match (soul mate). However, it is your role to show up as a smart and mature person to find out the right match for you. It is just you who is responsible for making the search oriented and easy if only you know how to proceed. Sometimes finding a perfect romantic match depends on how lucky you are. Therefore, you should open your eyes and heart to the possibilities you may encounter because you might be one of the lucky ones who find their soul match. In other words, when it comes to soul-mates, timing seems everything. No one can control the exact day, place and time their soul-mate will appear. So, it is natural that your patience sometimes gets cut short, but when it comes to knowing when you are going to find your soul-mate, the answer would be it depends. It is just an exercise of time and patience.

The best part of this is that you don't need to put a hold on your life while looking for your true soul-mate. Instead, you should live your life to the fullest because life can amaze you by throwing happy surprises when you least expect it.

Moreover, finding your perfect partner is not just a question of luck. However, you are the one who is responsible for that by working on improving your attitude toward yourself, love... You have to know who you are, what you want and like yourself as it is.

It is crucial that you feel satisfied and confident as a single person before you find your soul-mate. Actually,

YOU CAN'T EXPECT SOMEONE ELSE TO FALL IN LOVE WITH YOU IF YOU ARE NOT N LOVE WITH YOURSELF.

Self love attracts potential mates. Then , you can just make a list of the characteristics you love about yourself and check it everyday in order to generate good feelings towards yourself. Consequently, others will fall in love with you, simply because it is interesting to be around people who love themselves. This implies that you should start living your best life right now and you will become more attractive so that special person will be able to spot you in a crowd.

Furthermore, chemistry plays a major role in the process of finding soul-mates. It is that feeling which leaves you breathless, excited and weak in the knees.

It is claimed that love cannot exist without chemistry. Therefore, experiencing such feeling towards someone can lead to an ideal and everlasting relationship. Chemistry is when two beings meet and connect on a deeper level. As the saying goes” If someone could reach into your chest and tear out your heart and turn it into a living, breathing person...then this would be your soul-mate.”

Feeling that intense chemistry can make anyone intertwined with that special someone who leaves an everlasting imprint on their souls. Hence, biological chemistry can really blind two people into falling in love, but you need mind, body and spirit all to agree on chemistry.

On the other hand, I strongly believe that a true soul-mate should be a mirror or the person who shows you everything that is holding you back, the person who brings the best of you so that you can turn your life into better. It is that one whose love is powerful enough to motivate you to meet your own soul and to do the emotional work of self-discovery.

You are not looking for a perfect partner. However, you are looking for a partner to walk the journey of life with. Someone who completes you, the other half of you. In many ways, the one who stands as your reflection. As Joss Stirling said “ you have half our gifts. I the other. Together we make a whole. Together we are much more powerful”.

The idea is not about reaching a perfect mate, but rather a perfect love, and a perfect love can happen between two imperfect people

It is true that it takes you a bit of patience, trying, testing, dating deceptions, stress...to understand what you really need from a potential soul-mate. If you are trying to find a partner, what are you looking for exactly?!

I reckon, it is not easy to make a checklist in love, but it's always better to create a list if you want to know how to find your best match.

Healthy relationships require respect, mutual understanding, commitment... As author George Eliot says,

”what greater thing is there for two human souls than to feel that they are joined to strengthen each other, to be at one with each other in silent unspeakable memories”.

You need a partner who puts you first and loves you unconditionally. A partner who sees the imperfect you perfectly. You should look for loyalty in that person. Can that one be there for you in all times? Is he willing to remain by your side?!. You have to search for someone who is supportive, someone who picks you up when you are feeling down.

A true soul-mate ought to have similar spiritual practices, and have maybe the same outlook on life as you. You have to find someone who inspires you to bring out your best self, who shares same passion as you.

An everlasting relationship requires a couple who understand each other even without uttering words. For that reason, you should look for a person who can really understand you and your mind.

Naturally speaking, you want to be with a person, when you meet, you feel an uncontrollable attraction to and an illogical sense of familiarity with. Someone who shares the same values as you. He or she should support your life dreams, look up to you, admire you and respect you. Try to opt for the one who accepts you for who you are today, not for who you can be tomorrow.

Since soul-mates tend to complete each other, you should look for someone who is intended to help you and complete you. Each one should feel the pain of the other and stand in each others shoes.

Respecting each others' differences and opinions as well as apologizing in case of causing discomfort also is a step further to reach an honest, sincere and committed love relationship whose ultimate goal is a better version of yourself.

Last but not least, you can't sit around your house like a couch potato dreaming that your soul-mate will show up at your doorstep. Instead, you should go out and look for that partner. For instance, you can go out with some friends and visit clubs or any social event. You can also rely on the internet and subscribe to some dating sites or joining some social networks such as Facebook, Twitter...and you can even download some applications like Tinder. This means that you have to make some efforts by sowing the seeds and reaping what you sow later on.

Another thing I want to add is that you should listen to your dreams, trust your intuition and have faith that life keeps sending signals that will lead anyone to love. Numerous couples have met on trips to foreign countries when they never expected to find their matches or any bit of romance there.

Therefore, you should open your eyes and your heart to the possibilities you may encounter because the act of taking a bold step or following your heart desire actually leads to the doorstep of your beloved.

If you truly are looking for a love soul-mate and want to find that person that you can spend the rest of your life with, then bear in mind that this requires more than love and attraction. It requires unconditional love and the will to compromise for each other' s happiness to truly become soul-mates.
