Terminei Grande Magia em 7 dias, estou orgulhosa de mim. É que muitas vezes eu não me dedico tanto à leitura em casa mas comecei a ler no metrô e isso foi um ganho enorme pra mim em muitos sentidos: trocar o stress do trânsito por preciosos momentos de leitura em que mergulho nas páginas do livro é muito gratificante. O livro é não ficção, a Elizabeth Gilbert conta histórias inspiradoras e dá dicas valiosas para levar uma vida criativa com leveza e alegria. #lizgilbert #elizabethgilbert #grandemagia #bigmagic #criatividade #vidacriativa #livro https://www.instagram.com/p/BtBa87hFO7Q/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=s3pcsjclwhzp

Eu leio muito menos do que gostaria, por falta de tempo e disciplina. Este livro da Elizabeth Gilbert eu comprei logo que foi lançado, em 2015!! 🤦🏻‍♀️ Mas desde a semana passada meu local de trabalho mudou e estou indo de metrô ao invés de ir de carro, que benção! 40 a 50 minutos de leitura duas vezes ao dia, nem vejo o tempo passar absorta na história. Vou começar a lê-lo amanhã e quero terminar em 10 dias, quando saio de férias 🤗 Eu ia escolher A Assinatura de Todas as Coisas mas, se antes eu escolhia livros pelo tamanho da fonte 🤓, agora eu escolho pelo peso 😊 #livro #book #lizgilbert #elizabethgilbert #grandemagia #bigmagic #amoler #cartadeamoraoslivros https://www.instagram.com/p/BsrUlvMFBGr/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=175eqrl3qyhaq

[quotesforintellectuals]

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. If you don't, you will lead away your innate contentment. It's easy enough to pray when you're in distress but continuing to pray even when your crisis has passed is like a sealing process, helping your soul hold tight to its good attainments.

Elizabeth Gilbert, Eat Pray Love

Through the mere act of creating something—anything—you might inadvertently produce work that is magnificent, eternal, or important #lizgilbert #juicylife #thankyou #HinareraLambert #livewithjoy

Creativity is a gift

“Pure creativity is magnificent expressly because it is the opposite of everything else in life that’s essential or inescapable... Pure creativity is  something better than a necessity; it’s a gift. It’s the frosting. Our creativity is a a wild and unexpected bonus from the universe. It’s as if all our gods and angels gathered together and said, “It’s tough down there as a human being, we know. Here - have some delights.”

It doesn’t discourage me in the least, in other words, to know that my life’s work is arguably useless.

All it does is make me want to play.”

- Big Magic, Elizabeth Gilbert

Motives

“It is very kind of you to want to help people, but please don’t make it your sole creative motive, because we will feel the weight of your heavy intention, and it will put a strain upon our souls.

“You can recognize the people who live for others by the haunted look on the faces of the others“ - Katharine Whitehorn

I would so much rather that you wrote a book in order to entertain yourself than to help me. Or if your subject matter is darker and more serious, I would prefer that you made your art in order to save yourself, or to relieve yourself, or to relieve yourself of some great psychic burden, rather than to save or relieve us.

...

Your own reasons to create are reason enough. Merely by pursuing what you love, you may inadvertently end up helping us plenty.

“There is no love which does not become help.” - Paul Tillich

Do whatever brings you to life, then. Follow your own fascinations, obsessions, and compulsions. Trust them. Create whatever causes a revolution in your heart.

The rest of it will take care of itself.”

-- Big Magic, Elizabeth Gilbert
