Everyone dreams of finding their soulmate. Someone who knows exactly what they are thinking and what they are feeling. Someone who gets them. For some, they waste a lot of time looking for this person that they feel may never exist.
Soulmates may be where you least expect. They may be who you least expect. They could be such a surprise that you are overlooking them. You may be oblivious to them when they are right there in front of your face.
How do you know that you found your soulmate? There are ways to know but you have to step back a bit and look at things a little more objectively. You may think you’ve found your soulmate when it is just animal lust. However, your true soul mate may be the one sitting quietly at their desk wishing you would see how much they adore you.
There are signs to identify your soulmate. Here are five:
- You are changed for the better.

“You make me want to be a better man,” he said to her.
If someone in your life makes you want to be a better person, to do things better, to achieve more, it could very well be that person is your soulmate.
- Your Life Will Never Be the Same
Time is divided into two periods – BC and AC.

Those who have met their soulmate know their life will never be the same. The presence of this person will forever change you. You see life differently because of them and life wouldn’t go back to the way it was even if they left.
