Let two fingers meet
The greatest thing in the world is knowing how to be one’s true self. It is a difficult task to accomplish, as it involves understanding the person you have become through your life choices.
Every person has a different soul and temperament. While our physical aspects may look alike, there are very few people with whom our souls truly connect. How we see ourselves versus how others perceive us are important questions that need answering.
We often perform our daily tasks without waiting for guidance from our inner self. Yet, at times, we do things that perhaps should not have been done. Thus, there is a need to know more about our own self, soul, and mind so that we can perform at our best.
It is often more comforting to talk about the qualities one is seeking in a spouse than to look within to understand one’s own strengths and weaknesses. However, before bringing another person into our lives, it is crucial that we come to know ourselves very well.
Trying to know who you really are is like dialing your own mobile number from the same phone—the response is always that the number is "busy on another call." We are often so engrossed in trying to understand others that we fail to understand ourselves.
The journey of self-discovery is endless. Along this path, we seek a life partner because none of us are perfect, nor can we be. We crave someone to share our experiences, happiness, and sorrow with. Beyond that, we always look for a reason to live, to work, and to talk; a partner provides that purpose.
A life partner is like a companion or friend with whom you feel a strong connection. It may not always be a deep "soul connection" like a soulmate, but there must be a mutual feeling of trust, understanding, and respect.
To build a healthy relationship, it is vital to possess the ability to understand each other. In any given situation, both partners must have the courage to respect the other's view. That mutual respect acts like gravity, keeping both partners attracted and grounded to one another.
