Life Partner.
When your mind and heart are truly open abundance will flow to you effortlessly and easily.
Question:
Is it necessary to have a life partner/soulmate in your life? I’ve been alone for four years now and I am quite self-content. The idea of having a partner worries me as I can’t imagine having to rely on someone else. Is it self-denial, disappointment or self-contentment? Songs/media/books all talk about how people can’t live without their partners and how they represent purpose of their lives, happiness, literally everything… I think such attachments are not healthy, but deadly…
I don’t know if I should worry for myself as I don’t seem to be normal in perceiving an idea of a soulmate and a partner. Being alone is not a threat for me, because loneliness is a choice. I have plenty of friends and family that make my life rich and purposeful.
Response:
No, it’s not necessary to have a life partner to live a full and productive life. There are so many books and songs on romantic partnership because for many people this desire for a primary relationship is such a powerful drive.
But one only needs to look at history to see that some of the highest heights scaled by humanity have been by those souls who have traveled without a partner. I have come to believe that the idea that we must find our true soulmate is usually a misguided and unhealthy obsession that seduces individuals into thinking that happiness lies somewhere outside their present life.
Fulfillment is a matter of knowing who you are and being true to it. It’s not about who you are with or not with. You sound like a thoughtful, well-adjusted, and balanced person, if you are content with your current social structure, then you needn’t worry about not being normal. Being normal is highly overrated anyway.
