People think a soul mate is your perfect fit, and that's what everyone wants. But a true soul mate is a mirror, the person who shows you everything that is holding you back, the person who brings you to your own attention so you can change your life.
          
          A true soul mate is probably the most important person you'll ever meet, because they tear down your walls and smack you awake. But to live with a soul mate forever? Nah. Too painful. Soul mates, they come into your life just to reveal another layer of yourself to you, and then leave.
          
          A soul mates purpose is to shake you up, tear apart your ego a little bit, show you your obstacles and addictions, break your heart open so new light can get in, make you so desperate and out of control that you have to transform your life, then introduce you to your spiritual master...

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."

The Paradoxical Commandments
          
          People are illogical, unreasonable, and self-centered.
          Love them anyway.
          
          If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish ulterior motives.
          Do good anyway.
          
          If you are successful, you will win false friends and true enemies.
          Succeed anyway.
          
          The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow.
          Do good anyway.
          
          Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable.
          Be honest and frank anyway.
          
          The biggest men and women with the biggest ideas can be shot down by the smallest men and women with the smallest minds.
          Think big anyway.
          
          People favor underdogs but follow only top dogs.
          Fight for a few underdogs anyway.
          
          What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight.
          Build anyway.
          
          People really need help but may attack you if you do help them.
          Help people anyway.
          
          Give the world the best you have and you'll get kicked in the teeth.
          Give the world the best you have anyway.

"Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do."
