Not every single moment of our lives are filled with happiness, joy or excitement. We sometimes have bad days, or days we dread of, or even, days we are just not feeling it, and that's okay. For all of you who need a bit of inspiration to push yourself through the week, I have compiled a list of 15 quotes from my favorite movies that personally helped me to look at life differently. I hope it helps you also, to survive the next seven days and more days to come.
1. All Is Well — "Three Idiots"
" Rancho: That day I understood that this heart scares easily. You have to trick it, however big the problem is. Tell your heart, 'Pal, all is well. All is well.'
Raju: Does that solve the problem?
Rancho: No, but you gain courage to face it."
2. Learn From The Past — "The Lion King"
"Oh yes, the past can hurt. But you can either run from it, or learn from it." – Rafiki
3. It's Never Too Late To Do Anything —"The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button"
"For what it's worth: it's never too late or, in my case, too early to be whoever you want to be. There's no time limit, stop whenever you want. You can change or stay the same, there are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. And I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life you're proud of. If you find that you're not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again." – Benjamin Button
4. Enjoy Every Moment Of Your Life — "Ferris Bueller's Day Off"
"Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it." – Ferris
5. Don't Be Afraid To Make The Journey ― "The Princess Diaries"
"Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgment that something else is more important than fear. The brave may not live forever, but the cautious do not live at all. From now on you'll be traveling the road between who you think you are and who you can be. The key is to allow yourself to make the journey." — The Princess Diaries
6. Life Is Full Of Sweet Surprises — "Forrest Gump"
"My momma always said, 'Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re gonna get.'" — Forrest Gump
7. Go And Get What You're Worth ― "Rocky VI"
“Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It’s a very mean and nasty place, and I don’t care how tough you are, it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it.
You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain’t about how hard you hit. It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward; how much you can take and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done!
Now, if you know what you’re worth, then go out and get what you’re worth. But you gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain’t where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody. Cowards do that and that ain’t you. You’re better than that!.” ― Rocky Balboa
8. Live The Life You Love ― "The Notebook"
“You can't live your life for other people. You've got to do what's right for you, even if it hurts some people you love.” ― The Notebook

13. Explore What Life Has In Store For You ― "The Secret Life Of Walter Mitty"“To see the world, things dangerous to come to, to see behind walls, to draw closer, to find each other and to feel. That is the purpose of life.” – from The Secret Life of Walter Mitty
14. Don't Worry. Today's Not The Only Day ― "Gone With The Wind"

15. Last but not least... ― "Harry Potter and The Philosopher's Stone"
