One Tree Hill is a show that holds a place in many peoples hearts. As the show progressed, and the characters grew, the show taught its viewers many life lessons. And these life lessons are something we should live by in 2017.
1. "It’s the oldest story in the world. One day you’re 17 and planning for someday. And then quietly and without you ever really noticing, someday is today. And then someday is yesterday. And this is your life." -Nathan Scott.
In 2017, go with the flow. Let life take you where it will, and enjoy the journey; don't worry so much about the destination.
2. "It doesn't matter how you plan it. It doesn't matter how you envision it. Without even knowing it, sometimes life has a way of finding you with what you need. Or exactly who you need." - Quinn James
In 2017, believe in the fact that life is going to guide you to the things you need in life, or the people you need. So when life presents you with a new relationship, or a surprising moment, don't just ignore what life is throwing your way.
3. "Look, if you want something, go get it. It's that simple." - Lucas Scott
In 2017, chase your dreams and don't live your life idly.
4. "Sometimes I think we waste our words and we waste our moments. And we don't take the time to say the things that are in our hearts when we have the chance." - Clay Evans
This year, say what you mean and say how you feel. Don't let fear keep you from telling the people around you how you feel and how much those moments mean to you.
5. "Whenever you're having a bad day, someone else is having a worse day. So just stop and focus on all the good things." - Lucas Scott
This year, appreciate all the good things in your life. Don't dwell on the bad, and look back and forward to all of the good things that bring a little bit of light to your life.
6. "You know, you might want to take a long hard look in the mirror. And see if the guy (Or girl) staring back at you is the kind of person you want to be." - Keith Scott![]()
In 2017, if you want to change who you are, or become the person you want to be, do it. Don't let anything hold you back from reaching your potential and becoming the person you are truly meant to be.
7. "Live life for the moment, because everything else is uncertain." - Rachel Gatina
Take 2017 one moment at a time. Don't worry about the next day or the next week, seize the day before you and live your life to the fullest.
8. "People are gonna label you. It's how you overcome those labels, that's what matters." - Chase Adams
In 2017, don't let the labels place upon you define you. Fight to overcome the stereotypes that are so prevalent in our society, and fight to be the person you want to be with out labels holding you back.
9. "Every song ends, but is that any reason to not enjoy the music." - Peyton Sawyer
In 2017, live for every moment. Don't let the end of something overshadow the joy that moment can offer.
10. "What you do matters. And how you do it matters." - Mouth McFadden
In 2017, believe in what you do, and commit to it with all of your being. If you do something that matters to you, then it doesn't matter what the rest of the world thinks.
For many of us, 2017 can be a year of change. Live your life to the fullest, and live every moment like its your last, because you never know what will happen tomorrow.
