To me, a soul mate is someone you feel you've known
forever. It's not necessarily your most passionate
relationship, or even the person you marry. I don't
think there's only one partner for each of us; we can
find happiness with a number of different people,
and waiting for some ideal match may keep you from
seeing what's right in front of you. People don't
necessarily know what they really want, anyway. I
see this with clients who say, "I want him to be self-
confident but not arrogant. Wealthy but not
concerned with money. Super-successful but
available to spend all his time with me."
So many people say, "I always thought I'd just run
into someone—that fate would bring us together."
But there have been times when I've met with a
client and the very next day, in walked the person
that client wound up marrying. Who's to say that's
not fate?
