Eat, Pray, Love - Elizabeth Gilbert

Olivia shares Elizabeth Gilbert's Advice On Oprah, and I am struck by the similarity with the Rules for Decision in "A Course in Miracles."

As Olivia reminds us, Elizabeth Gilbert recommends, "Ask yourself every morning when you wake up: What do I really, really, really want? And answer it truthfully each morning."

Compare this with:
"Throughout the day, at any time you think of it and have a quiet moment for reflection, tell yourself again the kind of day you want; the feelings you would have, the things you want to happen to you, and the things you would experience, and say: If I make no decisions by myself, this is the day that will be given me."
. . . from Chapter 30 of the Course.

See Elizabeth Gilberts' "Eat, Pray, Love" here.

All you have to do is love and do what you really want. You don't want what you need, you wnat, what you are: peace, love and harmony. If you have real, pure, unconditionate, divine love inside your heart, you could't hurt anyone. Emoke
