● “Oh yes, the past can hurt. But the way I see it, you can either run from it, or learn from it.” - Rafiki, The Lion King (1994)
From getting over a heartbreak to unresolved arguments with loved ones, it’s up to you to avoid and forget these memories or to examine what you can learn from them and move on.
● “Well there’s the usual things: flowers, chocolates… promises you don’t intend to keep.” - Cogsworth, Beauty and the Beast (1991)
Cogsworth had a funny reply to the Beast asking him what he could do for Belle, but in hindsight, this is an interesting take on romance and relationships in general. As you grow old, you might have realized that people might make promises they don’t intend to keep because they want to impress or woo others.
This line is both a warning for you to be wary about grand statements people make but also a reminder for you to only make promises you know you can fulfill.
● “You never forget kids like Emily or Andy, but they forget you.” - Jessie, Toy Story 2 (1999)
Have you ever thought about how much you might have impacted someone’s life? When Jessie mulled about how her owner Emily eventually forgot her, it feels just the same with people you lost contact with over the years.
You might have met a teacher or a random stranger who left a big impression on you only for them to fade away, but there are people too, who you’ve greatly touched that you might not even remember. It’s times like these when it’s important to hold onto our memories rather than dwell on the person we’ve lost.
● “Do or do not. There is no try.” - Yoda, Star Wars: The
Empire Strikes Back (1980)
You may have written it off as a funny figure of speech after hearing Yoda say this for the first time but Yoda is wise in his own ways. Success and failure are realities of the world, and all you can do is your best to have more successes than failures.
“Trying” implies that you doubt you can do something and that you aren’t wholly committed to it. Here Yoda reminds us that there will be failures in life but that should not stop you from committing to your goals rather than always keeping one foot out the door.
● “Your overconfidence is your weakness.” - Luke Skywalker, Star Wars: Return of the Jedi (1983)
Similar to Yoda’s famous phrase, Luke’s reply to the Emperor during the finale of Return of the Jedi, might have appeared as a simple retort but has a lot of meaning when you look back on it.
Confidence is important to prevent doubts from clouding your ability to do things but being too confident can also lead to failure. You may miss out on details, like important instructions or extra requirements, refuse to accept further knowledge or fail to see the harm your choices are causing others.
● “Don’t be ridiculous, Andrea. Everybody wants this.” - Miranda
Priestly, The Devil Wears Prada (2006)
If you’ve watched The Devil Wears Prada, Miranda Priestly tells Andrea how privileged she should feel about living such a charmed life. However, living a life of luxury where everyone does whatever it takes to get ahead is not everyone’s cup of tea.
Success can have an ugly side at times, and some people will do anything to meet their goals at the expense of others. However, seeing Andrea walkaway after getting out of the car, we realize not everyone wants to have to drag others down to get what they want and you shouldn’t have to go down that path to find your fulfillment.
