What a book can have you thinking?

After reading "Eat Pray Love" I felt like I had learned so much. Reading this book showed my some of the main things that need to be prioritized in life. For example when she talked about leaving her husband even though she was not sure if it was going to be the right thing or not, I learned that you have to let go of things and by letting go you become a stronger person. When Liz did this she became a stronger person, but not just that she was also able to find herself. Now I know that I do not have to worry how much something hurts, because it will take me somewhere that will lead me to finding how I truly am.When Liz began talking about God, I felt like I had a big connection with her. Just like her I was unsure of what to think or how to pray to God. I had to go through something’s to know that there was someone above looking over me and willing to guide me in the right direction. Reading her part in India reminded me of when I did my Holy Communion, unsure and kind of scared, but as the time progressed you learn the ideas behind it, and you feel a closeness to God, even though you cannot see him you know you can talk to him and he will be able to listen to you; when he listens to you he will reply your prayers even though it might take awhile. In India I felt like Liz let go of herself, and became the person that she wanted to be, and that is the message I got. That through an experience with God you realize who you are. I had this feeling because when Liz was frustrated when she could not get her praying right, she managed to talk to God, and he guided her towards the path of hope. Another thing that this book taught was that you never start learning no matter how much you think you already think you know. Reading the book showed me show of the true means of what I taught I already knew, and it did not only did that but it expanded my mind to other beliefs and cultures and what they are really about. Reading the book it made me think of the many things in life that we have but that do not make us happy. It made me think because of everything Liz had at the beginning and was not happy, she taught she had the perfect family, life, and everything that you might need or want, but that still was not enough. It showed me that sometimes you have to think through of want you have, and ask yourself does it make you happy. If your answer is NO, then you have to change your life, and that usually with leaving everything behind will lead you to your TRUE HAPPINESS, and become a better person inside and out.
