All 5 of the quotes I'm about to share all translate in some way to the most dominant quote of all-Live life to the fullest.
1. "You gotta dance like there's nobody watching,
Love like you'll never be hurt,
Sing like there's nobody listening,
And live like it's heaven on earth." -William W. Purkey
When William W. Purkey says "you gotta dance like there's nobody watching", he refers to the idea of always doing your best and striving to live life to the fullest. "Love like you'll never be hurt," is refering to taking your chances to get the best experience of everything, and "sing like there's nobody listening," also refers to the same idea of not being afraid to always do your best. "Live like it's heaven on earth." translates to the conclusion of William W. Purkey's motivational quote, that he is simply telling his readers to "live life to the fullest."
2. "Life is too short to start your day with broken pieces of yesterday, it will definitely destroy your wonderful today and ruin your great tomorrow." -Anonymous
This quote is telling us not to hold on to the past("Life is too short to start your day with broken pieces of yesterday")and to always start the next day fresh("it will definitely destroy your wonderful today, and ruin your great tomorrow."). Because, as the Anonymous author of this inspirational quote knows, there are so many possibilities and to hold on to the past is to live in regrets forever.
3. “I’m selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can’t handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don’t deserve me at my best.” ― Marilyn Monroe
I'm sure most of you have heard this famous quote. What Marilyn Monroe is telling us by("I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle.")is that she is simply human. All humans make mistakes, we aren't perfect and we have our indifferences. The second half,("But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best.")refers to the fact that if that person can't accept the fact that she is human and makes mistakes at times, they don't deserve her.
4. "Good friends are like stars, you dont alway's see them but you know they are always there." -Christy Evans
This is one of my favorite quotes of all-time. Because it's so true.("Good friends are like stars, you don't always see them, but you know they are always there.") Having someone you can truly rely on and have a unique bonding friendship with them means that they are always there for you. They watch out for you at your worst times, but no matter what you know they are always there for you.
5. “A man once told the Buddha, "I want happiness."
The Buddha replied, "First remove "I," that's Ego, then remove "want," that's Desire.
See now you are left with only "Happiness.
For me, this quote is the hardest to translate. But, picking it apart piece by piece helped me find the true meaning in this quote. (“A man once told the Buddha, "I want happiness."
The Buddha replied, "First remove "I, that's ego" )To remove greed(then remove "want," that's Desire. See now you are left with only Happiness.")and desire, things that will get you nowhere but temporary pleasures and that will get you down to the most important needs of life.
So I hope you guys enjoyed my top 5 most inspirational quotes of all-time, and hope you too find the meaning that I did in them! Thanks for reading, be sure to give it a like if you enjoyed!
