Hey Pandas, What Book Or Movie Quote Do You Try To Apply To Your Life? (Closed)

“A wizard is never late nor too early, he arrives exactly when he means to”
- Gandalf 2001

From Dune by Frank Herbert:“I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”

I often have anxiety , fear, and second guess myself. This is the quote I reference to myself when trying to overcome these feelings.

"We're all stories in the end. So make it a good one, eh" - 11th Doctor, Doctor Who

Be who you are
Say what you feel
Those who mind don't matter
Those who matter don't mind
-Dr. Seuss

The Bible :)
God has all his teachings in that book and I want to follow it best I can. :)

Love ya'll have a nice day :)

“Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times, when one only remembers to turn on the light.” – Dumbledore

"Success is the peace of mind that comes from knowing that you have done your best, and that you have done the right thing." - John Wooden (NBA coach).

It baffled me when I first read it. For years I had been told that success is winning/ having academic achievements/ earning money and have possessions & the like. What does he mean by "peace of mind"? What is that? I read it again, and again, and again, and the meaning started to dawn on me.

Now when I face professional challenges, I wonder: "have I done my best?". And when before making a decision, I question myself: "is it the right thing?" If both are "yes", there is, indeed, a peace of mind that comes from it. Wishing you all to experience it :)

"Not just because you are good at something it means you have to do it for the rest of your life" -BoJack Horseman

I have often found myself in situations that have because too comfortable. Everyone needs a little challenge in life, everyday. Try something different.

“Ever loved someone so much, you would do anything for them? Yeah, well make that someone yourself and do whatever the hell you want.” -Harvey Specter, Suits

This one seems like a two-for-one because I haven't always been accepting of myself and I really want to succeed. I always want to fight tooth and nail for the ones I love, why not learn to love myself and fight just as hard for my happiness and success.

“Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.”
- Ferris Bueller, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off

"but he is not the king of my heart." legolas

"Anything is possible if you've got enough nerve" Ginny Weasly, The Half Blood Prince.

“Flaunt the weird” -Alex Fierro, Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard. It is WAY easier to be myself and learn to give no f***s if people think I’m weird. I AM weird. Last year I tried so hard to fit in and just, couldn’t. Turns out, people like the real me with all of the craziness.

"Everybody is a book of blood; wherever we're opened, we're red."
-Clive Barker from Books of Blood

I love this quote so much that it's tattooed on me. I love the wordplay but beyond that knowing each person is their own book and their stories and experiences are different from mine helps me to stay grounded. We are only the main character in our own story after all.

Wherever you go, there you are
Jon Kabbat - Zinn

"The past is a foreign country, they do things differently there..." From The Go between..... Hindsight is a wonderful thing, we can overthink events from our past..... But we can never really comprehend why?

From Team America World Police:
"See, there are three kinds of people: d**ks, p***ies and a****les. P*****s think everyone can get along and d**ks just want to f**k all the time without thinking it through. But then you got your a****les. And all the a****les want is to s**t all over everything. So p*****s may get mad at d**ks once in a while because, p****es get f**ked by d**ks. But d**ks also f**k a****les! And if they didn't f**k the a****les, you know what you'd get? You'd get your d*ck and your p**sy all covered in s**t!"
This changed my outlook on life.

"Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go." -T.S. Eliot

Our lives are not our own.
From womb to tomb,
we are bound to others...past and present.
And by each crime and every kindness,
we birth our future...

-Somni 451
