So I'm going to be honest...This just has not my year!!! I've had my share of issues in all main aspects of my life...I have to say though I still have been able to stay my strong positive self (like my friend tells me I have a California Positive attitude)...but I wont lie I have still have had my low moments,and this week has been a very low moment...there has been changes I can not control along with I been having very strong intuitions & signs...I'm a true believer in signs...it's the universe trying to help you. So I've been having a hard time the last few days.So I decided to force myself to do something motivating then lay around and feel sorry for myself...so I decided to re-watch the Movie Eat Pray Love... that movie is truly motivating to me in every aspect.The traveling and learning a new language part obviously.But this time I watched it and the quotes just seemed to touch me. I have been currently trying to have more positive influences in my life..weeding out all the bad/Negative and surrounding myself with lots of peace ,love and Happiness.I've also been Mediating,yoga/exercise,healthy diet(you are what you eat..if you eat shitty that is how you will feel) and surrounding myself with good friends , family and soon to be taking advice from a life coach...Life Coaching is about learning to live on the level of information and messages...for example Life continuously provides us with information and messages and when we do not listen, the messages turn into problems ..when we do not address the problems, they turn into a crisis...When the crisis is left unresolved, we have chaos in our lives.So I'm very confident I will soon see a better picture of my life and a better me.
So I decided I need to read this book now too...so my goal is try and read it on my next vacation in a few weeks. The following quotes I posted I love,they mostly have to do about letting go & and setting yourself free.
“But I really loved him.”
“Big deal. So you fell in love with someone. Don’t you see what happened? This guy touched a place in your heart deeper than you thought you were capable of reaching. I mean you got zapped, kiddo. But that love you felt, that’s just the beginning. You just got a taste of love. That’s just limited little rinky-dink mortal love. Wait till you see how much more deeply you can love than that. Heck, Groceries – you have the capacity to someday love the whole world. It’s your destiny. Don’t laugh.”
“I’m not laughing.” I was actually crying. “And please don’t laugh at me now, but I think the reason it’s so hard for me to get over this guy is because I seriously believed David was my soul mate.”
“He probably was. Your problem is you don’t understand what that word means. People think a soul mate is your perfect fit, and that’s what everyone wants. But a true soul mate is a mirror, the person who shows you everything that’s holding you back, the person who brings you to your own attention so you can change your life. A true soul mate is probably the most important person you’ll ever meet, because they tear down your walls and smack you awake. But to live with a soul mate forever? Nah. Too painful. Soul mates, they come into your life just to reveal another layer of yourself to you, and then they leave. And thank God for it. Your problem is, you just can’t let this one go. It’s over, Groceries. David’s purpose was to shake you up, drive you out of your marriage that you needed to leave, tear apart your ego a little bit, show you your obstacles and addictions, break your heart open so new light could get in, make you so desperate and out of control that you had to transform your life, then introduce you to your spiritual master and beat it. That was his job, and he did great, but now it’s over. Problem is, you can’t accept that his relationship had a real short shelf life. You’re like a dog at the dump, baby – you’re just lickin’ at the empty tin can, trying to get more nutrition out of it. And if you’re not careful, that can’s gonna get stuck on your snout forever and make your life miserable. So drop it.”
“But I love him.”
“So love him.”
“But I miss him.”
“So miss him. Send him some love and light every time you think about him, then drop it. You’re just afraid to let go of the last bits of David because then you’ll be really alone, and Liz Gilbert is scared to death of what will happen if she’s really alone. But here’s what you gotta understand, Groceries. If you clear out all that space in your mind that you’re using right now to obsess about this guy, you’ll have a vacuum there, an open spot – a doorway. And guess what the universe will do with the doorway? It will rush in – God will rush in – and fill you with more love than you ever dreamed. So stop using David to block that door. Let it go.”
"Sometimes to lose balance for love is part of living a balanced life"
"Listen, balance, my darling, is not letting anybody love you less than you love yourself."
"Do not look at the world through your head; look at it through your heart."
There are so many more others but that all I can remember right now.
I will keep you posted on my search.
Good Night All.
