Eat,Pray,Love-Best seller turned blockbuster!
I must admit,when I went in to see this movie,my initial expectations were to go through-you know the usual Julia Roberts sentiments displayed on the big screen? Not that I don't love her but sometimes it gets a little bit boring.
However,this movie was it! The actress portrayed the exact feelings and sentiments that travellers and seekers posses.
Throughout the movie you can not help but admire her search for everything and seeing it falling place.
Here's the Story line.
At 32 years old, Elizabeth Gilbert was educated and had a home, a husband, and a successful career as a writer. However, she was unhappy in her marriage and often spent the night crying on her bathroom floor. She has an affair, during which she separated from her husband and initiated a divorce, which he contested. The affair continued for some time but did not work out, leaving her devastated and alone. While writing an article on yoga vacations in Bali, she met a ninth-generation medicine man who told her she would come back and study with him. After finalizing her difficult divorce, she spent the next year traveling. She spent four months in Italy, eating and enjoying life (Eat). She spent four months in India, finding her spirituality (Pray). She ended the year in Bali, Indonesia, looking for "balance" of the two and found love (Love) in the form of a dashing Brazilian factory owner.[7]
The trip was paid for in advance from the book deal for Eat Pray Love.[8]
My lessons
..that love is not what you want, it is what you are. It is very important to not get these two confused.
If you think that love is what you want, you will go searching for it all over the place. If you think love is what you are, you will go sharing it all over the place. The second approach will cause you to find what the searching will never reveal.
Yet you cannot give love in order to get it. Doing that is as much as saying you do not now have it. And that statement will, of course, be your reality. No, you must give love because you have it to give. In this will you experience your own possession of it.
