Have you lost the passion of your life? The routine life can kill your passion and most of us are not brave enough to break this life cycle. We just go with the flow and don’t put much thoughts about it.  Life is too fast and food is served fast to nourish our body. We prefer to find a quick solution COPY and PASTE to our problem. There is a point in our life which we seem to have everything and we feel dull in our life. Elizabeth Gilbert in her book EAT PRAY LOVE told her true story. The story is about one woman quest for getting back a passion of her life. She is a woman who left everything behind and pursued her own passion by traveling a full year in 3 different countries: Italy, Indonesia and India. She is a woman who spoke her mind and wrote a journal during traveling. Her quotes in EAT PRAY LOVE book and movie are beautiful and well received by women. We, women, can relate her dilemma with ours.

Below are some of her quotes that I like and I can relate them to my own life.

There is so much about my fate that I cannot control, but other things do fall under the jurisdiction. I can decide how I spend my time, whom I interact with, whom I share my body and life and money and energy with. I can select what I can read and eat and study. I can choose how I’m going to regard unfortunate circumstances in my life-whether I will see them as curses or opportunities. I can choose my words and the tone of voice in which I speak to others. And most of all, I can choose my thoughts.

What she said about fate is true. We have full control for our life and particularly our thoughts. Be careful with our thoughts, they can dictate how our life should be. Be blessed for women who can write their thoughts well.

Happiness is the consequence of personal effort. You fight for it, strive for it, insist upon it, and sometimes even travel around the world looking for it. You have to participate relentlessly in the manifestations of your own blessings. And once you have achieved a state of happiness, you must never become lax about maintaining it…

What we do in our life have consequences in our happiness and success in life. We have to strive to pursue our happiness and success in life. Only we can initiate changes. We must push ourselves wholeheartedly if we really want to change.

It’s better to live your own destiny imperfectly than to live an imitation of somebody else life with perfection.

Often, we look up to someone’s life who seems perfect, happy and successful. We copy and paste theirs into our life. Their life isn’t our life. We have to find our own destiny though it may look imperfect.

Though many women try to follow Elizabeth’s trail in finding her own destiny and happiness in these 3 countries and most of us can not afford the luxury of traveling due to our responsibilities as a mom. You can rejuvenate your life, change the way you do, set a new goal, view things differently. Happiness and success in Life don’t happen overnight, it is an accumulation of your efforts everyday. It is not too late to be reborn for A NEW YOU even you are a mom. I still believe we deserve a second chance to pursue our happiness and our success in life.
