When will I ever find love? The answer is..

Ranked #515 in Relationships & Family, #67,554 overall

We talk about seeking our soulmate but do we ever stop to wonder what our soul has to do with it? I believe it has everything to do with it.

Falling in love is another way of saying that our souls recognise each other.

Which is not to take away any romantic notions of falling in love and all the wonder and magic that goes with it. It's a soul experience. Why we feel like we're floating in the clouds.

Our souls recognise their agreement before we were born - to (hopefully) get together during our lifetime. It starts with finding, and then living, one's true purpose in life.

Finding soulmate happens AS A PART OF finding your true purpose in life then your soul mate will appear - it's not too bold to say it! - to bring a higher love into the world.

9-10th century Japanese waka poems (forerunner of haiku)

From 'One Hundred Poets, One Poem Each: A Translation of the Ogura Hyakunin Isshu' by Peter McMillan

Though I try to keep it secret,
my deep love
shows in the blush on my face.
Others keep asking me
Who are you thinking of?

I always thought
I would give my life
to meet you only once,
but now, having spent a night
with you, I wish that I may
go on living forever.

Have you changed?
I cannot read your heart.
But at least I know
that here in my old home
as always the plum blossom
blooms with fragrance
of the past.

How to find a perfect love: an unexpected soulmate definition!

As I learned for myself, in the most dramatic way (bankruptcy), making a few tweeks to your life can also tweek your luck, self confidence, career, success, prosperity, happiness, finding a soulmate, the dreaded Mid-Life Crisis, also in a dramatic way! This is the broader picture where finding the real purpose of your life - just any old purpose won't do - is the very foundation of the mix of life we need to get right if we are to succeed at anything!

"There is nothing wrong with change," said Sir Winston Churchill, the British wartime Prime Minister, "if it is in the right direction."

And that's the crucial question, isn't it. Without a crystal ball how can we ever be reasonably sure which direction is the best one for us to choose? There's a good answer!

You already know what you're meant to do with your life.

It's the single secret to happiness, success, luck, career, self confidence, self esteem, prosperity, good health, even to finding a soul mate. It's the big message I got from having my life crash and burn, ending up homeless, unemployed, penniless and friendless.

What I wish I knew then - what absolutely everyone on the planet should know - is that we all have a unique life purpose, a destiny, a hidden talent if you like, and it is within us waiting to be found (unless we're one of the few lucky ones who've found it already).

We tend to think of destiny as a script for our lives imposed upon us by some external force, God perhaps, over which we have no control.

I have a different view. "Destiny" is a gift we chose for ourselves before we were born - that's right - by our own soul. It's our whole purpose in life - or should be - and failure to find it leads to trouble and, to say the least, bad luck.

"Finding" our life purpose, or destiny, is really a misleading concept because it's not something we have to go out and "get," but rather it's something we need to go within and claim.

You've already got it, because you chose it - even if you haven't consciously realized it. Then you need a plan to bring it into reality - because we create our own reality with our thoughts, an idea recently made popular in The Secret which had everyone talking a few years ago.

Two of the key contributors to 'The Secret' went further. Jerry and Esther Hicks published a series of eye-opening channeled books based on a spiritual take on The Law of Attraction. And Bob Proctor went one better (11 better, actually!) and released his bestselling '11 Forgotten Laws'.

Now there's the new Cosmic Ordering craze: is it really possible to place an order with the Universe for whatever you want? I've found this truly life-changing stuff - literally!

What does science have to say on the matter?

In a 24,000 best seller published by Bob Proctor's organisation, Success Engeering, followed by Luck Engineering, - read about both here! - presented the cutting edge science and quantum physics behind how to literally engineer luck and good fortune into your life or business.

But how do we know what our true life purpose or destiny is when we see it?

In a survey conducted among creative people of all kinds, from science to art, to learn the cause of 'genius' (Uncommon Genius by Denise Shekerjian), most claimed that they followed their intuition, trusted their feelings, or as one respondent replied, "I just trust my beeps."

When I get an irritating feeling up my spine I now know it's not the right thing to do. For too long I ignored that irritating feeling, that unease. But a feeling of exhilaration means, go for it! Project your thoughts into the future and see how you feel.

"Your broader Non-Physical part of you communicates with you," wrote Jerry and Esther Hicks in 'The Law of Attraction', "and has done so from the day you emerged into this physical body. That communication comes in many varieties - but all of you are receiving the basic communication that comes forth, in the form of your emotion. Every emotion that you feel is, without exception, communication from your Inner Being letting you know, in the moment, the appropriateness of whatever you are thinking, speaking, or acting."

To pull all this together in a meaningful whole I recommend this comprehensive up-to-date resource as your definitive guide to undersanding, and implementing, what should really be called the Law of Thought, in your own life.

Your life purpose will ALWAYS utilize your greatest passions, talents and interests.

"Your brain is similar to an iceberg," says psychologist Valerie Dawson. "The 90% of the iceberg deep below the surface is where all the information is that you have been searching for - all the wisdom and the 'knowing' about what you were put on this Earth to do is right there! Inside this part deep within are all the keys to your success, happiness, and abundant life!"

Your life's purpose is already within you!

The Greek philosopher Plato knew this when he wrote in his best-known work the Republic. "Your destiny shall not be alloted to you, but you shall choose it for yourselves." He called it your career on Earth while author Caroline Myss (a guest on Oprah) calls it your mission. Napoleon Hill, in his famous bestseller Think & Grow Rich called the secret to all of life's riches our Definite Major Purpose. Of this he wrote:

"The secret to which I refer ... cannot be purchased for money, for the reason that it comes in two parts. One part is already in possession of those who are ready for it."

"Follow your bliss," said scholar, author and mythology expert Joseph Campbell, "and doors will open where you never knew they existed."

Or, trust your beeps!

I didn't. I had to lose everything before the doors started flying open for me. I don't want this to happen to you (if it does I've just told you what to do about it)!

PS. You can read the full account of my fate after bankruptcy, of my adventures with nothing, my search for the meaning of it all, and the true mystery that fell into my lap soon afterwards (was it chance or destiny?) in my 211-page non-fiction book 'The Ghost of Granny Fitz' What was her shocking secret?. How did I go from life in an old caravan in the Aussie bush to New York, Regency England and Northern Italy?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Important!

How and when did you choose your destiny? Plato ...

"Now, when all the souls had chosen their lives in the order of the lots, they advanced in their turn to Lachesis, who dispatched with each of them the Destiny he had selected, to guard his life and satisfy his choice ... and in a moment the souls were carried up to their birth, this way and that, like shooting stars." ('Republic')

50 relationship secrets

Let's face it, how many of us know much about relationships. Yet it's such a critical issue that we should be taught the subject at school. Instead most of us learn by trial and error ... in my case, mostly error. I wish I'd known about Michael Webb.

There are thousands of marriage counselors and millions of relationship self-help books. So what makes his 50 Secrets of Blissful Relationships any different?

First of all, it's great to see that, unlike many other authors, Michael Webb (who has appeared on Oprah as well as many other TV shows) let's you inside his world. You get real-life examples of ways to solve relationship challenges, all based on his own personal life.

Second, unlike many other "experts" and marriage counselors, Michael Webb walks the walk. Inside this book, you learn exactly what he's done to make this a reality. Everything you read, he does or has done to improve his relationship, and that's what I really wanted to see - experience and real-life practice.

The book itself is simply set out with about one tip per day and just continues like this until the end of the book. Just about every tip had me shaking my head in agreement, as it gave me real-life solutions and several of those "a-ha" moments of profound understanding, everything I wish I'd known in the past.

The only real down side of the book is that every tip is set out with the same formula: story or unrelated example, followed by how that example ties into relationships and that exact topic.

If you're impatient or in a hurry, you can always start about halfway down and find out exactly what point he's trying to make.

Also, instead of the tip titles providing a clear "how to solve X problem" or a clear topic description, it simply has a phrase that ties together with the information. Now while this is no big deal, it would have been nice to be able to skim the book to exactly the advice I wanted. Although if you read the information on the sales page, you can work out what information belongs where in the book. So it's not too bad.

All in all, this is one of the best relationship books I've ever seen and these relationship secrets could have saved me a lot of heartache, if not any one of my failed relationships.

PS. Learn how to be cool totally with the author's complete relationship library of 16 ebooks at a SERIOUS DISCOUNT for the whole package. Together, they cover everything you would ever want to know about romance, dating, relationships, marriage and sex. Get this huge relationship library and you'll be more than popular with the opposite sex.

What she will teach you in this multi-media home study course really will work, but you have to know the Secrets she discovered about men, AND, for them to work you must apply them to how you are, and how you communicate, with men. Just knowing them is not enough.
