Elizabeth Gilbert: 我相信每个人都有自己的人生使命,这需要我们积极回应内心的召唤。逃避召唤意味着拒绝自己的命运,而只有勇敢地接受挑战,才能最终实现自我价值。在追寻自我价值的道路上,我们会遇到各种各样的考验,包括来自外界的质疑和自身的迷茫。但只要我们坚持不懈,就能克服困难,最终获得成功。我不认为灵魂伴侣意味着永远在一起,它更像是一面镜子,照出我们内心的不足,帮助我们成长和改变。婚姻不仅仅是婚礼,而是一个持续的旅程,需要我们不断学习和成长才能经营好。我不后悔自己选择不生孩子,因为这是我自己的选择,也是我人生旅程的一部分。我为自己的人生负责,并努力从每一次经历中学习和成长,无论是快乐还是痛苦。我的精神修行不是刻板的仪式,而是将光明带入我生活的每一天,与每一个我遇到的人。 Oprah Winfrey: 与伊丽莎白·吉尔伯特的对话让我对灵魂伴侣、人生使命和自我负责有了更深刻的理解。伊丽莎白分享了她的人生经历和感悟,这给了我很多启发。她强调了自我负责的重要性,以及在追寻幸福的道路上,我们需要勇敢地面对挑战,并从每一次经历中学习和成长。
