5 inspirational Bob Marley quotes that can change your life

Bob Marley continues to inspire and enlighten with his lyrics and words, through his music as well as in recorded interviews and concerts. We’ve assembled some of his most inspiring quotes that can help brighten your day, and could even change your life if it gets you into a better frame of mind on a daily basis.1.‘Some people feel the rain. Others just get wet.’Here’s a great way to get remind yourself that any experience can be a chance to learn something new and open yourself up to actually feeling it. Everything that happens to you can have meaning, you just have to be present and live in the moment. Rain doesn’t have to be a bad thing, and bad things that happen to you are only bad if you perceive them that way.Perhaps what Bob is trying to say here is that no matter what comes your way, you can make the most out of it, and be part of this magical experience called life, rather than just let things happen to you and think nothing of it.2.‘Get up, stand up, Stand up for your rights. Get up, stand up, Don’t give up the fight.’This quote is pulled right from the song Get Up, Stand Up and is empowering for those that feel their rights are being threatened. It’s also inspirational because it encourages you to keep fighting, no matter what battle you’re in. Battles come in all shapes and sizes and each of us fights our own. Sometimes it’s tempting to just stop fighting and give in, or to let someone take advantage of you because it’s too much effort to stand up for yourself. But this is saying not to be passive when it comes to your rights, or your fight.3.‘When one door is closed, don’t you know that many more are open.’This is a take on the adage that when one door closes, another opens. But it expands that thinking and gets you to realize that it’s not just one door that opens, but many. There are always more opportunities to be had, so you don’t need to feel too invested in any one thing. It’s a bit limiting to think that only one door opens when one closes, and much more liberating to think that in fact there are several more opportunities for each one that doesn’t work out.4.‘Love the life you live. Live the life you love.’Can it be as simple as this? Love the life you’re living, and live a life you love. It sure would create a positive spiral because if you’re living your life the way you want you’ll be more apt to love it, which should make it much easier to continue living it in a way that inspires more love. It definitely makes sense to live a life that’s worthy of your love, and this quote can be a wakeup call for those that have gone down a path they don’t really like, and find themselves stuck in a life they’re not really thrilled about.5.‘Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery. None but ourselves can free our minds.’It’s true that only you can free your own mind, no one else can do it for you. But it’s up to you to determine if you’re a mental slave to anyone or anything. This can come in many forms, from excessive television watching to still following beliefs that were instilled upon you by others. Take a self inventory and see if there’s anything you believe in that doesn’t suit you, or that was placed there by someone else. Has advertising caused you to mindlessly by products? What can you do today to start freeing yourself from this sort of mental bondage.Source : Internet
