A true woman's true journey
This is not a classic, or perhaps not of much literary value at all, but this is a book that has truly spoken to me when I was reading it. I laughed with her in Italy, meditated with her in India and liberated with her in Indonesia. It's definitely a book that all women should read. I mean it.
Everything was so real, the sorrow, the frustration, the depression, the faith, the courage, the balance and the love. I've literally followed her journey step by step as if I were there right beside her, experiencing every bit of complicaiton and simplicity of life.
It takes courage to change one's life, to break what appears to be normal life style and to search for the truth about oneself. When you get lost in your life, you need guts to see around you and to realize that you need to break that cycle and start anew. Do something you would really like to do but never had the chance, because you always have the chance. Look at yourself in the mirror with sheer confidence, believing not only the image you see but also the soul you feel inside. What's so burried so deep that's been forgotten should resurface, only then shall you be free again. Then you need to carry out whatever you have in mind, and just be crazy for once. For once in your life, you need to step out of your life and look at it from a different angle. For once you don't have to figure out what you've done wrong but what you have not done. Love yourself, but don't define yourself, just let the person inside you speak for herself. All you need to do is listen and search.
The search itself isn't as difficult as you think. Let go whatever sorrow that's possessing your mind and open up yourself to embrace whatever comes to you because miracles do happen.
"To lose balance sometimes for love is part of living a balanced life." I love the way she said it, because it's just so true.
"Life's metaphors are God's instructions." Find the God within yourself and you would be free of all burdens.
"Happiness is the consequence of personal effort. You fight for it, strive for it, insis upon it, and sometimes even travel around the world looking for it. You have to participate relentlessly in the manifestations of your own blessings."
Never give up.
