st minute. A few minutes after you arrive, you notice a handsome man across the room. You lock eyes and smile at each other, but much to your disappointment he is with someone. As time goes on you often think about that handsome stranger. Approximately one year later you meet him at a work-related seminar, only now he is no longer in a relationship. He asks you out and the rest, as they say, is history.

Why do you think you had to wait a year after your first meeting to connect with your soulmate? Because when

So, why are you not with your soulmate? What’s keeping you and your ideal partner apart? Is it because finding and connecting with your soulmate is hard? No, I really don’t think so. In fact, meeting your ideal partner is not at all difficult.

Many people came to me and say, “Joanne, I’ve done the inner and outer work that you suggested in your book, A Matter of Destiny, so why haven’t I met my soulmate yet?” Unfortunately, it’s hard to say when your beloved will be given to you, as the timing is out of our hands. The sooner you accept this, the easier life will be for you. We must allow the universe to unfold in its own time.

There are many possible reasons why you have not yet reunited your destined love. Before you can connect with your true love, you must first identify and let go of any beliefs that may be sabotaging your efforts. Here are some reasons for the wait:

· Unfinished business with someone else (this is a big one)

· Lack of confidence and self-love

· Fear of getting what you really want

· Karma (a spiritual debt may need to be balanced)

· Commitment issues

· Capacity to love

· Control issues

· Old emotional wounds

As you can see from this list, the only thing stopping you from connecting with your loved one is you.

You can, however, speed things along by working on yourself and dealing with some of the issues that may be keeping you apart. Of course, the more quickly you do your inner work and develop the qualities you want in your mate, the sooner you will connect. Those who are comfortable in their own skins are ready to connect with their beloved.

Quality love comes when we least expect it and when we are emotionally ready for it. While you may meet your soulmate before you are completely ready, the chances that the two of you will connect at this time are slim. Here is a little scenario to demonstrate this point:

You get a last minute invitation to a party. You have had a hard day at work and are tempted to decline, but change your mind at the last minute. A few minutes after you arrive, you notice a handsome man across the room. You lock eyes and smile at each other, but much to your disappointment he is with someone.

Why do you think you had to wait a year after your first meeting to connect with your soulmate? Because when you first met, he had unfinished business with someone else, and you probably had a few issues you needed to work on as well.

When looking for the right love, patience is definitely called for. Trust and know in your heart of hearts that a wonderful love will be given to you when the time is right for both of you. You could be oceans apart, but somehow, somewhere you will find a way to connect. Have faith, and faith will deliver your soulmate. Your meeting is a matter of destiny.

Now that you have a better understanding of what it takes to connect with your soulmate, I hope you will have the patience to wait for your true love.

All the best,
