Do child prodigies and soul mates have anything in common?

How do you explain 4-10 year olds exhibiting finesse in art, math, chess or music? Yes, all the explanations tell you how they are able to do it. Possessing an extraordinary working memory, a rage to master, a tendency towards their chosen field and careful nurture. That's all good. But WHY? Why do they have the tendency? What attracted them in the first place? Why music for some and math, art for others? Yes, science has explained prodigies rationally, but not satisfactorily. They still use the words 'lucky coincidence of all these factors'. With all the scientific theory available, can we replicate them? Can they be predicted? What is the X factor? Soulmates - you know them when you meet them. They are not a myth. The believers already have met theirs, the non believers haven't yet. How is it that you connect on all levels the minute you meet them? Why does it feel that this is not the first time? To borrow Nolan's words, meeting them is like 'a half remembered dream'. It baffles you, throws all your rational thinking out of the window. The sheer quality of rapport and chemistry you share overloads your brain and short circuits it. It is all corny and cheesy until you experience it first hand. So, two seemingly unconnected paragraphs. What is the bridge? Can I dare say reincarnation? :) Continued... My hypothesis - Both child prodigies and soulmates might be an indirect (for the lack of a better word) "proof" that we all have past lives, and by implication - future births. What we truly work for, put effort into, our "saadhana" stays with us somehow. Prodigies hone their craft for some hundreds of years maybe, and in this (or some) life, their practice and effort reach the tipping point and they achieve excellence in a very short period of time. And continue to exhibit mastery. There are no lucky factors. It is all pure, hardcore hard work and consistent practice. The instant connection with someone we barely knew might be an indicator that we have met in another lifetime. The kind of emotion that goes beyond physical, mental and emotional, that which feels like finally arriving home, and finding a familiar soul which makes us feel an innate trust and the sheer quality of vibes - these kind of relationships cannot be built in a lifetime. They transcend lifetimes. PS - So, my take away is that whatever skill you are attracted to, practise it. You might not achieve any tangible results now, but hopefully, if you persist, you can master it in another lifetime. So, don't give up. Go after your dream and give it all you've got. :) And our loved ones are with us. No matter what. They will always be.
