Eat. Pray. Love.

If you are alive then you most likely have heard about this book/film. If you haven’t, you clearly have been living under a rock and I would suggest seeking alternate living quarters. Seriously…

I wont get into the details of the film or book because I think you should see/read both. However, there is one part about the move I want to talk about and it’s a part in where one character says, “Americans know entertainment, but they don’t know Pleasure.”

This idea just keeps showing up in my life and it is rather crazy. It is so true that Americans don’t know pleasure. Everyone is always running, running running. They have to constantly be checking emails, Facebook, text messages, returning phone calls, running errands, the list goes on. They can’t be bothered to be content where they are or live in the moment. It’s always about what’s happened or what’s going to happen. It’s always about how much money is spent, what can’t be afforded, or how to get more money. We live for the weekend, only to wake up monday – miserable because you hate your job. Then we do it all over again.

This is the American way of life. And with all this we still wonder why no one is happy. Think about this: We are living in the most abundant country, in the most abundant time period in HISTORY and yet there is a multi-billion dollar industry surrounding self-help books for people who have it all and are miserable! We look to advertising and business to tell us what we need and want. Why is that?
