What is the red string of fate? How does this belief govern who we are supposed to love? Fate, it seems, has spoken.<\/p>\n
This belief comes from an ancient Asian myth<\/strong>. The legend states that a red string is tied from one partner to the other signifying these two are supposed to be together. At times, this string may become tangled<\/strong>, but it will never be broken.<\/p>\n It seems you are destined to be one with this person and this person alone. While this myth can seem sweet, it can also feel a little finite.<\/p>\n This Chinese tale starts with a young boy and a matchmaker. The matchmaker is leaning against a tree with a book of soulmates or a record of those who are meant to be together. The boy asks the matchmaker what he is doing, seeing that the matchmaker is holding a red string. He says, \u201cThis string connects two soulmates together. I know who is meant to be together”.<\/em><\/p>\n So the matchmaker takes the boy into town and shows him who he is destined to marry. The young boy sees the girl and grows angry. When the girl looks at him, he throws a rock and her, striking her in the forehead.<\/em><\/p>\n Years later, the young boy is grown and attending his own marriage that was arranged by <\/em>his parents. He lifts the veil and sees the most beautiful woman he has ever seen. He looks at her forehead and sees the scar. It was the same girl, whom many years before, was struck by his rock.<\/em><\/p>\n What a sweet tale, huh\u2026<\/p>\n The myth called the red string of fate<\/em> is mirrored in other cultures around the world. Some call these soul mates, while others call them their \u201cone true love\u201d. Reading about this tale may have you wondering about your own happy ending.<\/p>\n Well, a happy ending<\/a> isn\u2019t always so easy to attain. Either way, this sweet idea seems promising and drives so many people to search endlessly<\/strong> for the perfect mate. So, what are some ways that can help us locate our connection a bit easier? Let\u2019s analyze a few ideas.<\/p>\n You cannot just wait around for the red string of fate to reveal itself. So, you must take action<\/strong>. You can pray, hope, and have faith, this is true, but recognizing the signs and utilizing them will propel you into your destiny. Keep a watch for all indicators that your true love may be close. They could be closer than you think.<\/p>\n Unless you find happiness within yourself, you may never find your soul mate. This is because your energy will be off<\/strong> and they won\u2019t even be able to recognize you as someone they love. It can be devastating if you are in the wrong mindset. Remember, true happiness is not found within another, it is shared between two people who are already content.<\/p>\n Finding yourself is so underrated. I know you\u2019ve heard this idea many times and may even find it clich\u00e9. The truth is, finding yourself is a great step<\/strong> toward finding your other half. Why don\u2019t you start with a few questions?<\/p>\n Ask yourself, \u201cWho am I?\u201d<\/em>, \u201cWhat do I like?\u201d<\/em>, \u201cWhat do I truly desire\u201d<\/em>, and \u201cWhat are my goals for the future?\u201d<\/em> \u00a0When you can answer these questions easily, you will be able to match your character and personality to your connection<\/a>. It just makes things much easier.<\/p>\n Let\u2019s forget about coincidences for a moment, and consider that every little thing happens for a reason<\/strong>. That\u2019s because it usually does. The red string of fate will show who you\u2019re meant to be with by putting you in the same place at the same time.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re finding that you\u2019re always around certain people or always meeting in odd places, then this could be a key. Here\u2019s a hint: Pay attention to who you meet when your plans fall through. Your soulmate<\/a> could be strategically placed<\/strong> in order to cross your path.<\/p>\nHere is a breakdown of the story behind the myth of the red string of fate:<\/h2>\n
