On the plane from Pisa to Madrid, I finally got around to watching Eat. Pray. Love. after so many people kept telling me I just had to see it. I understand why now – I am living it. Well, my own version of it. I’ve been inspired in ways I never imagined… I have risked letting go… of everything… Each day on this journey has gifted me challenges and lessons… I have learned more about myself, human nature and the world than I ever could have expected. And the best part is, there’s still so much more for me to experience and discover. There are so many truths waiting to be revealed.
“In the end, I’ve come to believe in something I call ‘The Physics of the Quest.’ A force in nature governed by laws as real as the laws of gravity. The rule of Quest Physics goes something like this: If you’re brave enough to leave behind everything familiar and comforting, which can be anything from your house to bitter, old resentments, and set out on a truth-seeking journey, either externally or internally, and if you are truly willing to regard everything that happens to you on that journey as a clue and if you accept everyone you meet along the way as a teacher and if you are prepared, most of all, to face and forgive some very difficult realities about yourself, then the truth will not be withheld from you.” – final quote of the movie
