伊丽莎白·吉尔伯特《美食，祈祷，恋爱》英语名言：灵魂伴侣是你

“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...”

― Elizabeth Gilbert, Eat, Pray, Love

“人们认为灵魂伴侣是你的完美伴侣，这是每个人都想要的。但是一个真正的灵魂伴侣是一面镜子，一个向你展示一切阻碍你前进的东西的人，一个让你注意到自己的人，这样你就能改变你的生活 。

一个真正的灵魂伴侣可能是你遇到的最重要的人，因为他们会拆掉你的墙，把你打醒。但要和灵魂伴侣永远住在一起？不。太痛苦了。灵魂伴侣，他们进入你的生活只是为了向你展示你自己的另一层，然后离开。

灵魂伴侣的目的是让你振作起来，把你的自我撕碎一点，给你展示你的障碍和上瘾，打开你的心，让新的光进入，让你如此绝望和失控，以至于你不得不改变你的生活，然后把你介绍给你的灵性大师……”
