"Everyone you meet along the way as a teacher"

from one of my favorite books, "Eat, Pray, Love" written by the amazing Liz Gilbert... read this during my first month in Boston and seemed to come at just the right time. This is one of many many quotes from her book (if you haven't read it... think about it!) :) Just saw the movie yesterday with my friends Caryn and Meghan.. I've never been the kind of person to say things like "the book was better than the movie," as I've not usually read any book first before seeing the movie of it ;) but I highly recommend reading the book regardless of whether you see the movie or not.

"I’ve come to believe that there exists in the universe something I call 'The Physics of The Quest'– a force of nature governed by laws as real as the laws gravity or momentum. And the rule of Quest Physics maybe goes like this: “If you are brave enough to leave behind everything familiar and comforting (which can be anything from your house to your bitter old resentments) and set out on a truth-seeking journey (either externally or internally), and if you are truly willing to regard everything that happens to you on that journey as a clue, and if you accept everyone you meet along the way as a teacher, and if you are prepared – most of all – to face (and forgive) some very difficult realities about yourself….then truth will not be withheld from you.”
