Eat, Pray, Love .

Dragii mei, recent am urmarit un film care mi-a placut foarte mult, extrem de mult. Pot sa spun ca in momentul de fata se afla in topul preferintelor mele in materie de filme. Se numeste Eat, pray, love si povesteste despre o femeie moderna, Liz (Julia Roberts) care calatoreste in toata lumea, in speranta de a se regasi pe sine. Aflata la o rascruce de drumuri, dupa un divort recent, personajul principal hotaraste sa isi ia un an de pauza si decide sa evadeze din cotidian, riscand totul numai pentru a-si schimba viata. Inspirat dupa o poveste adevarata, acest film dovedeste inca o data faptul ca trebuie sa ne facem mai mult timp pentru noi si sa ne bucuram de lucrurile marunte care ne lumineaza viata. Filmul se incheie cu Liz care isi gaseste in sfarsit marea dragoste.

Ma regasesc in aceasta pelicula si o recomand tuturor. E genul de film de unde poti invata intotdeauna cate ceva. La final, o sa presar pe ici pe colo cateva citate care m-au impresionat:

1. "I have a history of making decisions very quickly about men. I have always fallen in love fast and without measuring risks. I have a tendency not only to see the best in everyone, but to assume that everyone is emotionally capable of reaching his highest potential. I have fallen in love more times than I care to count with the highest potential of a man, rather than with the man himself, and I have hung on to the relationship for a long time (sometimes far too long) waiting for the man to ascend to his own greatness. Many times in romance I have been a victim of my own optimism."

2. "This is a good sign, having a broken heart. It means we have tried for something."

3. "I’m here. I love you. I don’t care if you need to stay up crying all night long, I will stay with you. There’s nothing you can ever do to lose my love. I will protect you until you die, and after your death I will still protect you. I am stronger than Depression and I am braver than Loneliness and nothing will ever exhaust me."

4. "To lose balance sometimes for love is part of living a balanced life."

5. "It's better to live your own life imperfectly than to imitate someone else's perfectly."

6. "Your emotions are the slaves to your thoughts, and you are the slave to your emotions." 

7. "Having a baby is like getting a tattoo on your face. You really need to be certain it's what you want before you commit." 

8. "Never forget that once upon a time, in an unguarded moment, you recognized yourself as a friend." 

9. "Some days are meant to be counted, others are meant to be weighed." 

10. "Eventually, everything goes away." 

11. "I crossed the street to walk in the sunshine." 

12. "Do not apologize for crying. Without this emotion, we are only robots." 

13. "I wondered, "Why have I been chasing happiness my whole life when bliss was here the entire time?" 

14. "He was powerful and I died of love in his shadow." 

15. "The resting place of the mind is the heart." 

16. "A fish and a bird may indeed fall in love, but where shall they live?" 

17. "This was my moment to look for the kind of healing and peace that can only come from solitude."

18. "And what will I be able to do tomorrow that I cannot yet do today?" 

19. "Sometimes life is too hard to be alone, and sometimes life is too good to be alone." 

20. "We're miserable because we think that we are more individuals, alone with our fears and flaws and resentment and mortality."  

21. "You may return here once you have fully come to understand that you are always here." 

22. "When you have only two minutes to say good-bye to the person you love most in the world, and you don’t know when you’ll see each other again, you can become logjammed with the effort to say and do and settle everything at once." 

23. "If something is rubbing so hard against you, you can be sure it's working on you." 

24. "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 leave." 

25. "I'd learned enough from life's experiences to understand that destiny's interventions can sometimes be read as invitation for us to address and even surmount our biggest fears. It doesn't take a great genius to recognize that when you are pushed by circumstance to do the one thing you have always most specifically loathed and feared, this can be, at the very least, an interesting growth opportunity." 

26. "What time has ever been a simple time for those who are living it?" 

27. "He was still my romantic hero and I was still his living dream."

28. "He was playing a character I had invented, which is somewhat telling. In desperate love, it's always like this, isn't it? In desperate love, we always invent the characters of our partners, demanding that they be what we need of them, and then feeling devastated when they refuse to perform the role we created in the first place..." 

29. "Happiness is the consequence of personal effort. You fight for it, strive for it, insist upon it, and sometimes even travel the world looking for it. You have to participate relentlessly in the manifestations of your own blessings. And once you achieve a state of happiness, you must never become lax about maintaining it, you must make a mighty effort to keep swimming upward into that happiness forever, to stay afloat on top of it. If you don't you will leak away your innate contentment." 

30. "God lives in me as me."
