Watched it illegally and LOVED it! What a wonderful movie - Robert Pattinson just knows how to make them sappy, doesn't he?

We believe we are hurt when we don’t receive love. But that is not what hurts us. Our pain comes when we do not give love. We were born to love. You might say that we are divinely created love machines. We function most powerfully when we are giving love. The world has led us to believe that our well-being is dependent on other people loving us. But this is kind of upside down thinking that has caused so many of our problems. The truth is our well being is dependent on our giving love. It is not about what comes back; it is about what goes out!

Oh Arjun, a Yogi cannot eat too much or too little.
She cannot sleep too much or too little.
She must measure everything:
eating, sleeping, working and relaxing.
Everything she does
should be just right and even.

A Yogi is never afraid.

The Yogi who's mind is concentrating on God
does not shake.
He is steady
like a candle in a room where there is no wind.
The Yogi's mind does not move away from the truth.

To become a Yogi
you have to practice being calm.
You have to practice not fidgeting
and concentrating on God.

And the Yogi who is perfectly calm
is pure and free of sin.
He is one with God
and perfectly happy.

-Bhagavad Gita

Later that day I got to thinking about relationships. There are those that open you up to something new and exotic, those that are old and familiar, those that bring up lots of questions, those that bring you somewhere unexpected, those that bring you far from where you started, and those that bring you back to life. But the most exciting, challenging and significant relationship of all is the one you have with yourself. And if you can find someone to love the you you love, well, that's just fabulous.

-Carrie Bradshaw

" I have a tendency not only to see the best in everyone, but to assume that everyone is emotionally capable of reaching his highest potential. I have fallen in love more times than I care to count with the highest potential of a man, rather than with the man himself, and I have hung on to the relationship for a long time (sometimes far too long) waiting for the man to ascend to his own greatness. Many times in romance I have been a victim of my own optimism."
Elizabeth Gilbert (Eat, Pray, Love)
