Real Talk

In our quest for happiness we must be sure that we don't settle for a playmate when God has a soul mate waiting for us. Sometimes this is a hard distinction to make. Playmates are tricky.... they are so much fun to be with that even the smartest of us will be fooled into thinking this has to be our Soul mate. Worse yet too many of us attempt to make a Soulmate out of a Playmate.

The danger of this is that later, after years of playing we will meet our Soulmate, but it may be too late. We may have already made a life mate of our playmate and created life-long bonds (emotional,children, etc.). Or we may have been hurt from playing so hard that weare in no shape ourselves to be anyone's anything. How can we distinguish between the one, and just another one? First, we must be open with ourselves about who we really are and what our soul yearns for.

Only you and God know what is truly in your heart and mind. Only you know what will make you truly happy and whole. In order to find your Soul mate you have to know you, first.

Then there's that person who makes you feel so special when you're around them, but doesn't match that ideal you have conjured in your head. So what if he or she doesn't look like Shemar Moore or Vivica Fox. Is he or she going to treat you like the jewel that you are?

His or her soul and yours will commune in ways you never imagined possible! In order to heed that voice, we have to put on the back burner our own superficial thinking. If you enjoy playing, stay on the playground. There are plenty of playmates out there to occupy your time. But don't spend too much time playing or you may play your life away. Eventually the playing loses it appeal and your soul begins to crave a deeper, more meaningful connection....its soulmate.
