Section 2 – Self Evaluation (no scoring required!)
Now that you’ve learned about how open and ready you are to attract love into your life, spend some time thinking over the following questions. Read my Spirit insights below each question, then journal about what you have discovered.
1) Where do my old emotional scars originate from which I am still holding energy on and have a hard time of releasing in order to heal them?
- Family
- Friends
- Former Partners
In order to attract the energy of soulmate love into your life, you need to forgive all those issues from your childhood and relationships with family members. You also need to let go of any emotional upset with former partners. The past is the past and you and your circumstances were different then. You need to be objective and realize these were merely lessons in your and your soul family’s evolution. Today is a new day.
2) As you look in the mirror, what loving aspects do you acknowledge?
- Your physical beauty
- Your mental capacity
- Sense of humor
- Compassion and understanding
- More
In order to receive love in all different areas of your life and live a joyful and happy existence, we must love every part of ourselves from the suffering part to the joyful part. We must realize that we are perfect in our soul make up and all of our experiences of the past that have made us who we are today. What you see in your reflection in the mirror is what others first see. Are you happy with the image? Your ability to love another directly is reflected in how you are able to love yourself. Don’t be afraid to be vulnerable and open.
3) What part of me do I feel I need to work on in order to attract my soulmate into my life?
- My strong opinions and judgments
- My insistence on always being right
- Control issues
- Childhood issues
You are part and parcel of many individual unique insights and traits. You need to express yourself with everyone you meet and heal past hurts. You don’t always have to be right in order to be understood. How can we judge another, when we don’t understand their history or who they are? You need to step back and see the bigger picture in your life and the life you want to pursue.
4) What would you be willing to give up in your current life, in order to live a life with your soulmate?
- My career
- My home and location
- My financial freedom
- My freedom
In all relationships there is compromise and understanding. Each relationship is unique in its capacity to love and be genuine. No one has more importance than the other. But, in order to share a life with another soulmate, we need to feel secure in who we both are and be willing to bend. When two hearts come together the best of each other forms a new life of enrichment, understanding and growth.
5). Which statement best describes your sense of when love will find you in life?
- Yes, when, when, when? I have been waiting my whole life?
- It will get here when it is good and ready.
- I’m too old, the bus has come and gone.
- I’m not waiting for love to find me – I AM love.
You must remember, the more you try to have it, the less space you are giving for the experience to happen. Those soulmates who are part of our life’s journey will come in in divine time not human time. It will be perfectly timed as that Universe is perfect in all its actions.
The title of this quiz is “Are You Worthy of Love” and I want you to know that whoever you are and whatever your history, the answer is YES! The secret to attracting more LOVE into your life is to simply let go of FEAR. You might have some fear related to your past, fear of getting hurt, fear of loss – even fear of success and happiness. Recognizing your fear is the first step toward healing. I hope that the questions and insights above have given you something to think about!
