LTI Recommends: Eat, Pray, Love

“You were given life; it is your duty (and also your entitlement as a human being) to find something beautiful within life, no matter how slight.”
~ Elizabeth Gilbert (Eat, Pray, Love)

I recently finished reading ‘Eat, Pray, Love’ by Elizabeth Gilbert. I know there are numerous reviews out there on this book (the book only remained on the New York Times Best Seller list for 158 weeks), but I thought I would share with you my thoughts on it. Most simply, I would have to say it was one of the best books I have read. Elizabeth Gilbert, in this creation of genius, was so easy to read and relate to that I was able to finish this book in just a couple weeks (I’m a slow reader, and don’t get oodles of time to read, so that’s a good pace). It was funny, encouraging, and inspiring. I’m not sure how the male readers feel (so please weigh in if you are reading), but as a woman I loved how it showed the journey of one woman who was able to discover who she was by realizing who she didn’t want to be. It’s a story of love, in learning to love another, but most importantly in learning to love yourself. It’s a story of new beginnings, in fighting through despair and finding happiness on the other side. It’s a story of finding your spirit, in being able to be still and find your god, while allowing others to find theirs without judgment. It is a magnificent story, and I recommend you read it.

In order to emphasize how good this book really is I want to share with you 12 quotes from the book itself. I hope they resonate with you as much as they did with me.

“I’m here. I love you. I don’t care if you need to stay up crying all night long, I will stay with you. There’s nothing you can ever do to lose my love. I will protect you until you die, and after your death I will still protect you. I am stronger than Depression and I am braver than Loneliness and nothing will ever exhaust me.”

“When I get lonely these days, I think: So BE lonely, Liz. Learn your way around loneliness. Make a map of it. Sit with it, for once in your life. Welcome to the human experience. But never again use another person’s body or emotions as a scratching post for your own unfulfilled yearnings.”

“In desperate love, we always invent the characters of our partners, demanding they be what we need of them, and then feeling devastated when they refuse to perform the role we created in the first place.”

“We search for happiness everywhere, but we are like Tolstoy’s fabled beggar who spent his life sitting on a pot of gold, under him the whole time. Your treasure–your perfection–is within you already. But to claim it, you must leave the commotion of the mind and abandon the desires of the ego and enter into the silence of the heart.”

“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. You must make a mighty effort to keep swimming upward into that happiness forever, to stay afloat on top of it.”

“Tis’ better to live your own life imperfectly than to imitate someone else’s perfectly.”

“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.”

“In the end, though, maybe we must all give up trying to pay back the people in this world who sustain our lives. In the end, maybe it’s wiser to surrender before the miraculous scope of human generosity and to just keep saying thank you, forever and sincerely, for as long as we have voices.”

“You were given life; it is your duty (and also your entitlement as a human being) to find something beautiful within life, no matter how slight.”

“I am a better person when I have less on my plate.”

“Some days are meant to be counted, others are meant to be weighed.”

“I have good idea, for if you meet some person from different religion and he want to make argument about God. My idea is, you listen to everything this man say about God. Never argue about God with him. Best thing to say is, ‘I agree with you.’ Then you go home, pray what you want. This is my idea for people to have peace about religion.”

In case you can’t get enough and you want more inspiration from “Liz” Gilbert herself, check out her TED Talk on nurturing creativity. This is a great talk on distancing ourselves from our creative anguish, and to have the courage to show up every day to do what you can, even if your creative genius isn’t always there.

LTI Profile: Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor

Live To Inspire — Wed, 16 Jun 2010 02:51:19 +0000

“My left brain is doing the best job it can with the information it has to work with. I need to remember, however, that there are enormous gaps between what I know and what I think I know.”
~ Jill Bolte Taylor

Who here has heard of Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor? I hadn’t heard of her until this year when she was profiled in Success Magazine, but since then I have sought out videos of her talks on both TED.com and Oprah’s Soul Series. If you haven’t heard of Dr. Taylor, or even if you have, I encourage you to keep reading. In May of 2008, TIME Magazine chose Dr. Taylor as one of the 100 Most Influential People in the World. Her story has been featured in Success Magazine, she appeared as a guest on Oprah’s Soul Series in early 2010, and gave a keynote presentation at TED2008. Her story is intriguing and inspiring, which is why I share it with you today.

Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor is a Harvard-trained and published neuroanatomist. What is that you ask? Since I had to look it up myself, here is the definition – in short, neuroanatomy is a branch of neuroscience which deals with the study of the structure of the brain and the nervous system. In 1996, Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor became a neuroanatomist with first-hand knowledge of how the brain really works when one morning she woke up to discover that she was experiencing a severe hemorrhage in the left hemisphere of her brain. Now, I would imagine most people, if they were to experience something like this, would freak out a little bit and call for help. However, being a brain expert allowed Dr. Taylor to observe what was happening within her body from an objective point of view, and because of this has been able to go on to share her fascinating story through interviews and her book “My Stroke of Insight“.

Two and a half weeks after the incident, Dr. Taylor underwent major brain surgery to remove a golf ball size blood clot that was placing pressure on the language centers in the left hemisphere of her brain. It took eight years for Dr. Taylor to successfully rebuild her brain. Since that time she has gone on to become a successful author, speaker, and overall brain and life activist.

I share with you now Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor’s presentation from TED2008. May it be the beginning, or perhaps the continuation, of your relationship with this fascinating and inspiring woman. Click here if you cannot see the video below.

Did you enjoy this video? Want to learn more about this amazing woman and her experience? Read “My Stroke of Insight” by Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor or visit her website today.

“When we are being compassionate, we consider another’s circumstance with love rather than judgement… To be compassionate is to move into the right here, right now with an open heart consciousness and a willingness to be supportive.”
~ Jill Bolte Taylor

10 Amazing Quotes for You or Your Mom on Mother’s Day

Live To Inspire — Sun, 09 May 2010 15:15:13 +0000

Image: http://www.flickr.com/photos/davidclow/

When I was younger I used to write poems for my mom on Mother’s Day. They weren’t elaborate Walt Whitman-type poems at all, but it was my little way of showing that I cared. Unfortunately, this little tradition has fallen by the wayside as I’ve gotten older. I blame it on the uncreative mind of adulthood. In place of the poem, though, I still try to add a little extra to my Mother’s Day card by adding a quote or two from some of the great minds of the past or present. Below I share 10 amazing quotes that pay tribute to all of those amazing mom’s out there. Happy Mother’s Day!

“The moment a child is born, the mother is also born. She never existed before. The woman existed, but the mother, never. A mother is something absolutely new.” ~Rajneesh

“My mom is a neverending song in my heart of comfort, happiness, and being. I may sometimes forget the words but I always remember the tune.” ~Graycie Harmon

“It kills you to see them grow up. But I guess it would kill you quicker if they didn’t.” ~Barbara Kingsolver, Animal Dreams

“Insanity is hereditary; you get it from your children.” ~Sam Levenson

“All women become like their mothers. That is their tragedy. No man does. That’s his.” ~Oscar Wilde, The Importance of Being Earnest, 1895

“A man’s work is from sun to sun, but a mother’s work is never done.” ~Author Unknown

“Making the decision to have a child is momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body.” ~Elizabeth Stone

“We never know the love of the parent until we become parents ourselves.” ~ Henry Ward Beecher

“A mother is a person who seeing there are only four pieces of pie for five people, promptly announces she never did care for pie.” ~ Tenneva Jordan

“Mother – that was the bank where we deposited all our hurts and worries.” ~T. DeWitt Talmage

LTI Recommends: Zen Habits

Live To Inspire — Tue, 04 May 2010 03:28:49 +0000

You may or may not have noticed, but it’s been a while since I last posted to my blog. I could make many excuses for this, but instead I will recommend a blog that can help us all simplify our lives to really focus on what is important. Too often we get caught up in being “busy” and lose track of what is important – mainly relationships, exercise, and beloved hobbies. Sometimes this can’t be helped. There are just times of the year when the stars align to run you off your feet. However, when you get a moment to step back and take stock of where your energies are being spent, sometimes there are choices we have to make to let some of that busy work go. We especially need to let these tasks or errands go if they don’t align with our goals or values.

One of my favourite blogs to help remind me to live more simply is Zen Habits: Simple Productivity by Leo Babauta. “Zen Habits is about finding simplicity in the daily chaos of our lives. It’s about clearing the clutter so we can focus on what’s important, create something amazing, find happiness.” For me, he speaks of a more simple life that I hope to some day live. One spent taking walks with my family, reading that new book that I’m excited about, and reducing the amount of clutter in my home. Each new day is a new opportunity to live more simply. Zen Habits provides 3 posts a week to help guide us in how to get there.

The best place to start on Zen Habits is the beginning – The Beginner’s Guide to Zen Habits – A Guided Tour. Here you will be able to see Mr. Babauta’s most popular posts, his category breakdown, his recommended reading, and a list of his own book offerings. It doesn’t get much more simple than that.

Please check out Zen Habits and let me know what you think. What article from Zen Habits speaks to you the most? Let me know, as I have just scratched the surface of this wonderful site myself.

I hope you all are well, and hopefully not too busy to enjoy the simple treasures of life. Take care and thank you for visiting.

19 Famous Quotes by 19 Famous People

Live To Inspire — Sun, 11 Apr 2010 03:41:37 +0000

I don’t know about you, but I love reading quotes. I don’t even really have to know the person who is saying it, just so long as the quote hits me with a new or challenging thought for areas of my life that are important to me or that I would like to improve. In ‘Unlimited Power’ by Anthony Robbins, he speaks to the reader about modeling those people who have the characteristics that you would like to adapt for yourself. In my mind, reading quotes gives me the ability to connect with leaders of years past or present, and allows me to adopt a mindset that I know will lead to better thoughts and actions for my life.

Without further delay, let’s get to the quotes from some of the greatest leaders ever born in the month of April.

“I have been impressed with the urgency of doing. Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Being willing is not enough; we must do.”
~ Leonardo da Vinci (April 15)

“Courage is not the absence of despair; it is, rather, the capacity to move ahead in spite of despair.”
~ Rollo May (April 21)

“Fear makes strangers of people who would be friends.”
~ Shirley MacLaine (April 24)

“Once you replace negative thoughts with positive ones, you’ll start having positive results.”
~ Willie Nelson (April 30)

“If you plan on being anything less than you are capable of being, you will probably be unhappy all the days of your life.”
~ Abraham Maslow (April 1)

“I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”
~ Maya Angelou (April 4)

“We may encounter many defeats but we must not be defeated.”
~ Maya Angelou (April 4)

“Just don’t give up on trying to do what you really want to do. Where there is love and inspiration, I don’t think you can go wrong.”
~ Ella Fitzgerald (April 25)

“If you cannot find peace within yourself, you will never find it anywhere else”
~ Marvin Gaye (April 2)

“There are no secrets to success. It is the result of preparation, hard work, and learning from failure.”
~ Colin Powell (April 5)

“You have to dream, you have to have a vision, and you have to set a goal for yourself that might even scare you a little because sometimes that seems far beyond your reach. Then I think you have to develop a kind of resistance to rejection, and to the disappointments that are sure to come your way.”
~ Gregory Peck (April 5)

“Success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life… as by the obstacles which he has overcome while trying to succeed.”
~ Booker T. Washington (April 5)

“Your future is created by what you do today, not tomorrow”
~ Robert Kiyosaki (April 8 )

“To live is to choose. But to choose well, you must know who you are and what you stand for, where you want to go and why you want to get there.”
~ Kofi Annan (April 8 )

“Keep on beginning and failing. Each time you fail, start all over again, and you will grow stronger until you have accomplished a purpose – not the one you began with perhaps, but one you’ll be glad to remember.”
~ Anne Sullivan (April 14)

“We compete, not so much against an opponent, but against ourselves. The real test is this: Did I make my best effort on every play?”
~ Bud Wilkinson (April 23)

“Listen to many, speak to a few.”
~ William Shakespeare (April 26)

“You have power over your mind – not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.”
~ Marcus Aurelius (April 26)

“You can’t let one bad moment spoil a bunch of good ones.”
~ Dale Earnhardt (April 29)

LTI Recommends: MoneySense Magazine

Live To Inspire — Thu, 25 Feb 2010 04:24:58 +0000

I haven’t actually visited the MoneySense website in a while, but in preparing for this blog post I took another journey back. What I found was very exciting. They have given their website a facelift and now offer many different ways to connect with them (Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, RSS Feeds). Maybe it’s just me, but I really get excited about that because now I can have articles sent straight to my Google Reader, which I can then peruse every morning to see what catches my interest.

All this and I haven’t even mentioned the personal financial planning content! Since that is the most important part, the following is a list of the 7 key reasons you need to read MoneySense Magazine:

1. Canadian Content – A lot of the time we are subjected to American content when it comes to financial news or personal financial planning. MoneySense offers all the news and information we need from a Canadian perspective.

2. Online Content / Blog / Newsletter/ Forums – With so many options to connect, gaining access to this wealth of information is just a click away.

3. Easy to Read – I love MoneySense for the fact that it uses plain english to explain financial matters for every level. This is the magazine I first started reading to learn more about investing and financial planning. Now I am a DRIP and ETF investor and take courses to learn more whenever I can. Talk about getting a head start.

4. Topics include Planning / Investing / Real Estate / More – Another reason why Canadian content is important.

5. Great Lists - Who doesn’t want to know what the best paying lottery in Canada is, the world’s top stocks, or the top countries to invest in?

6. Get Your Subscription with Airmiles – Can it get any easier than this? Do you have a few Airmiles to spare? Head on over to www.airmiles.ca and get your subscription to MoneySense magazine.

7. Couch Potato Investing – Learn how to manage your own portfolio of stocks in less than 15 minutes a year. It’s been a rocky couple of years, but the couch potato approach will give you a nice balanced portfolio that you can individually gear towards your own risk tolerance.

Hopefully I have convinced you to at least take a look at this site and think about learning more about your own personal finances. Education is the #1 key to taking control of your own financial situation, and for Canadians especially, it’s hard to find a better starting point than this.

Already a fan of MoneySense or enjoyed this post? Please leave a comment below to share your thoughts and expertise. Thank you!
