I caught ‘Eat.Pray.Love’ this afternoon for the hundredth time. I love the book as well as the movie and while I’m still skeptical about concepts like God and religion, I resonate with the tone and messages of the line of thought presented in the movie.
You know how when you watch a movie for the umpteenth time and find something new to make sense to you? Well, this quote at the very end of the movie did that to me today.
I have always wanted to go away to another country at the very least for a few years, just to find myself in a new place. Oh yes, and I also have wanted to get a Master’s degree. With that being said, I also find myself worried about the exorbitant costs and the financial burden it might land me in. I honestly do not have an airtight plan on how I will make it happen, but I know I will.
I cannot bear to wake up at 40 wishing that I had just gone and fulfilled my desire to go away and live by myself, start afresh and give myself the opportunity to a new life. And honestly, we all have these desires that we want to fulfill with every inch of our being – but so often we’re scared.
I hope that each of you find the courage and passion to pursue what your heart longs for. I hope you find in yourself the strength it takes to dream, to dream big.
Until next time.
