Be your own Pygmalion: Create your reality

When you find that one who you feel has been created just for you, you're so lucky. If your familiar with the Greek myth Pygmalion you know exactly what I'm talking about; the perfect mate.

Story of Pygmalion:
There are many versions but I will refer to Ovid's version for all intents and purposes. Pygmalion was a sculptor who sculpted a woman out of ivory. He had become very disgusted with the women of Cyprus (daughters of Propoetus) because of their behavior. They were forced to prostitute themselves by the Venus (the Roman goddess also known as Aphrodite) for not worshipping her properly. Pygmalion had decided he was not interested in these women. He sculpted his statue so realistically, beautifully, with so much affection, and love that he fell in love with his creation. Soon it was Aphrodite's/Venus's (the Greek goddess of love, pleasure, procreation, and beauty) festival, Pygmalion made offerings to Venus's temple and secretly prayed to make his ivory creation a real woman. When he went home, he kissed and touched the breast of his statue. She was no longer hard. She was soft, warm, and ALIVE!!! Venus had answered his prayers. The statue is referred to as Galatea in many writings. Pygmalion married Galatea with Venus's permission. They bore a child, and lived in bliss.

To me this Greek myth represents the ideology that one can create their own reality. Don't accept mediocrity or partial happiness. There are few things you have total control over in everyday life and they consist of what you will allow, what you will tolerate, demand, accept, and embrace when it comes to your partner/mate. Own your inner Pygmalion!

That's what it means to meet you soul mate. Someone who isn't perfect by definition but is you're perfection because they mesh with your imperfections and total being perfectly. The person, that completes you and makes you feel whole. That missing puzzle piece kind of love. When it's good to, and for you! Some "love" can be good to you and so bad for you but when you get good loving and it's improving your mental, spiritual, and emotional being...thats intrinsically (valuable) good love.

I think so often in our lives we force relationships when they're not meant to be. Some people are put in your life to teach us life lessons but we often try to keep them around after the lesson is learned which of course ends in pain and horror! I know I have! But when two people aren't equally yolked it will never work! Pygmalion, although extremely literal, created his soulmate and you can create your expectations based on what you deserve and desire. You will be astounded what you're perseverance for your "perfect love" will bring.

I'm a living testimony. I'm just sharing this based on what I've experienced and based on others experiences.

But what do I know...
Have a wonderful day beautiful people.
Seize the Day!!!!!!
Peace. :)
