Eat,Pray,Love
>> Saturday, October 2, 2010
I just watched Eat,Pray,Love last night. It was a nice movie... However, halfway through the movie, I can't help it but yawn ... Maybe I was too tired; not having enough sleep... and 133mins is too long for a tired-not-enough-sleep-lady... hehe.
Short summary about this story...
Liz Gilbert (Roberts) had everything a modern woman is supposed to dream of having - a husband, a house, a successful career - yet like so many others, she found herself lost, confused, and searching for what she really wanted in life. Newly divorced and at a crossroads, Gilbert steps out of her comfort zone, risking everything to change her life, embarking on a journey around the world that becomes a quest for self-discovery. In her travels, she discovers the true pleasure of nourishment by eating in Italy; the power of prayer in India, and, finally and unexpectedly, the inner peace and balance of true love in Bali.

Some of the quotes I like from the story...
"You need to learn how to select your thoughts just the same way you select your clothes every day. This is a power you can cultivate. If you want to control things in your life so bad, work on the mind. That's the only thing you should be trying to control."
"That's the thing about human life--there's no control group, no way to ever know how any of us would have turned out if any variables had been changed."

"In desperate love, we always invent the characters of our partners, demanding they be what we need of them, and then feeling devastated when they refuse to perform the role we created in the first place."
"I'm choosing happiness over suffering, I know I am. I'm making space for the unknown future to fill up my life with yet-to-come surprises."
