"Eat Pray Love - Unforgettable"

ELIZABETH GILBERT ON DESTINY FROM HER 'EAT, PRAY, LOVE' BESTSELLER BOOK

ELIZABETH GILBERT ON DESTINY FROM HER 'EAT, PRAY, LOVE' BESTSELLER BOOK

~ Destiny, I feel, is also a relationship - a play between divine grace and willful self-effort. Half of it you have no control over; half of it is absolutely in your hands, and your actions will show measurable consequence. Man is neither entirely a puppet of the gods, nor is he entirely the captain of his own destiny; he's a little of both. We gallop through our lives like circus performers balancing on two speeding side-by-side horses - one foot is on the horse called "fate," the other on the horse called "free will." And the question you have to ask every day is - which horse is which? Which horse do I need to stop worrying about because it's not under my control, and which do I need to steer with concentrated effort?

BUDDHA ON THE SECRET OF EXISTENCE AND ON OUR THOUGHTS

BUDDHA ON THE SECRET OF EXISTENCE AND ON OUR THOUGHTS

THE SECRET OF EXISTENCE...

~ The whole secret of existence is to have no fear. Never fear what will become of you, depend on no one. Only the moment you reject all help are you freed.

ON OUR THOUGHTS...

~ All that we are is the result of what we have thought. If a man speaks or acts with an evil thought, pain follows him. If a man speaks or acts with a pure thought, happiness follows him, like a shadow that never leaves him.

MORGAN FREEMAN ON BEING HUMAN AND LIFE

ON BEING HUMAN...

~ Man is immortal, not because he alone among creatures has an inexhaustible voice, but because he has a soul, a spirit capable of compassion, sacrifice, and endurance.

ON LIFE...

~ But I can say that life is good to me. Has been and is good. So I think my task is to be good to it. So how do you be good to life? You live it.

"STYLE IS LIKE A MUSCLE YOU HAVE TO EXERCISE IT REGULARLY OR YOU'LL LOSE IT"

~ Working from home or going on maternity leave is no excuse to let go of your look. The more you schlep around in drawstring pants and tees, the less you're going to be able to pull yourself together when necessary. Likewise the more you walk out of the house feeling like a cool million bucks, the more you are going to want to get out and make an impression. Think about dressing up, even for days spent around the house.
