Movies That Change Lives - 21 Quotes from The Peaceful Warrior
I'm not sure what Ebert and Roeper had to say about this
movie but I'm here to tell you it's one that should not be
missed. I believe what The Secret has done for
inspirational documentaries The Peaceful Warrior will do
for inspirational dramas.
This movie actually was released in very limited viewing
areas some time ago but never at a location near me. So I
waited and watched for it actually hoping to pick up the
DVD when it was released. So to my surprise months later, I
luck up on an internet link to free tickets for opening
weekend, now a much wider release which included my
location. I tell you the Law of Attraction is always in
action.
I take my fourteen year old and off we go. Let's just say I
was already feeling good because I didn't have to whip out
my wallet. I don't have the words to relay just how
inspired this movie made me feel. I've followed Nick
Nolte's career here and there, I find this movie to be some
of his best work ever. I liked the fact that he was not all
perfect looking and cuddly, his scratchy voice is his
trademark. Yeah, it does get a little cheesy in some spots
but these are very minor if you're able to look at the big
picture.
After the movie, my fourteen year old and I talked and
recited quotes from the movie all the way home. If this
doesn't sound amazing to you, that's because you don't know
my son. This young man doesn't waste his words and if I can
pull one to two sentences a day out of him I'm lucky. We
both left feeling good, motivated and inspired. Maybe these
quotes from the movie and Dan Millman's book Way of The
Peaceful Warrior on which the movie is based will inspire
you, give you food for thought and make you feel good.
1. There are no ordinary moments.
2. This moment is the only thing that matters.
3. Wake up! If you knew for certain you had a terminal
illness…if you had little time left to live…you would waste
precious little of it. Well, I'm telling you…you do have a
terminal illness: It's called birth. You don't have more
than a few years left. No one does! So be happy now,
without reason…or you will never be at all.
4. The first realization of a warrior is not knowing.
5. Every action has it's pleasure and it's price.
6. You haven't yet opened your heart fully, to life, to
each moment. The peaceful warrior's way is not about
invulnerability, but absolute vulnerability…to the world,
to life, and to the Presence you felt. All along I've shown
you by example that a warrior's life is not about imagined
perfection or victory; it is about love. Love is a
warrior's sword; wherever it cuts, it gives life, not death.
7. Find the love in what you do.
8. Everything has a purpose. It's up to you to find it.
9. If you don't get what you want, you suffer; if you get
what you don't want, you suffer; even when you get exactly
what you want, you still suffer because you can't hold on
to it forever. Your mind is your predicament. It wants to
be free of change. Free of pain, free of the obligations of
life and death. But change is law and no amount of
pretending will alter that reality.
10. Some people live their whole lives without ever waking
up.
11. Knowledge is not the same as wisdom.
12. Moderation? It's mediocrity, fear and confusion in
disguise. It's the devil's dilemma. It's neither doing nor
not doing. It's the wobbling compromise that makes no one
happy. Moderation is for the bland, the apologetic, for the
fence-sitters of the world afraid to take a stand. It's for
those afraid to laugh or cry, for those afraid to live or
die. Moderation…is lukewarm tea, the devil's own brew.
13. I call myself a Peaceful Warrior…because the real
battles we fight are on the inside.
14. Find your answers from inside.
15. Pain is a relatively objective, physical phenomenon;
suffering is our psychological resistance to what happens.
Events may create physical pain but they do not in
themselves create suffering. Resistance creates suffering.
Stress happens when your mind resists what is…the only
problem in your life is your mind's resistance to life as
it unfolds.
16. Those who are hardest to love are the ones who need it
most.
17. Throw out everything that is keeping you from this
moment.
18. Where are you? Here. What time is it? Now. What are
you? This moment.
19. There is never nothing going on.
20. Three principles of reality: Paradox, Humor, and Change.
21. There is only the journey.
I'd gladly pay this time to see the movie again and most
certainly will add this one to my DVD collection right next
to The Secret and What the Bleep Do We Know. I take these
quotes and add them to my son's school agenda, a type of
notebook his school uses to track homework assignments and
parental communication. So instead of just signing my name
every night, I write a quote or a positive kudo for my son
to read to himself in school the next day.
If you have the time this weekend do you think you would
check this DVD movie out?
