Luckily I managed to watch EAT, PRAY, LOVE. I did gain back my confident and objective in life once again after the movie! This time, I was trying to hunt for the book with the purpose to remind myself that never lose the confidence and the ambition again!
What kind of life for ETSUKO experiencing all over the year 2010? Well, that was only three words to describe, WHAT A MESS!!!
But, I'm so glad that I believe I can overcome everything and I treat all these obstacles as my challenges in life! Especially Julia's movie gave me inspiration and enlightenment to give me the strength in my self-esteem building.
A divorced writer failed to find herself in marriage and life after a long period of surviving in the so-called LIFE PATH that she lived on. She totally lost and made her life in a messy stage. She really need to take a break to search herself once again to continue her future life.
ETSUKO found herself having the similar stage like the writer whereas she unable to find her existence in human life. Many things happened in this tiger year, from the escape of the scary accident, serious sick, families' health being attacked, and others incidents; case by case, life became harder and tougher.
The writer gave herself a gap year to search herself in order to back to the life once again! She went to Italy for food (cause she lost her appetite all this while), India for the faith (with the purpose to search the balancing between reality and belief), Bali for the love (whereas she was confusing the true meaning of love). The journey seemed luxurious cause she was really capable enough to have the financial in traveling here and there. However, she did success to find herself again and able to restart the life engine and move further.
Meanwhile, what can ETSUKO do to overcome the struggles in her life? Well, she still cannot do anything right now, but still remained in the messy stage. But, she slowly reached out the solute way since she returned to her normal life gradually.
Holding on her faith in Buddha, she believed the karma theory and cherish everything she held now.
Returning the root of life, she trying slowly to maintain the simple and easy life, such as the exercise, healthy diet, the SLOW life theory and so on.
Loving the world, loving everyone in life becoming the purpose of her life since she neglected the surroundings for a period, and it was time to concern them more than ever.
Nobody can lose herself or himself in life. ETSUKO did lose herself in recent year, influenced by the environment and tried to adapt herself in it. Nevertheless, that was not a good practice cause she really could not find herself and trapped inside the swirl.
This is the end since she realized her struggle especially after the movie shown. She learn, doesn't she?
