Inspiration is everywhere. Many people take inspiration for granted. They don’t know what is inspiring them to pursue their dreams. They don’t realize it. One of the things that inspire me the most are quotes. I know what you’re thinking- quotes that are meant to boost your confidence are pretty lame. Or overused. And while I would normally like to agree with you, some inspiring quotes are just too real and too relatable. Believe it or not, they are from one of the biggest franchises known to mankind- Disney. Here are 10 of the most underrated quotes from inspiring Disney movies. These magical sentences you’re about to read are bound to have some impact on you…

“People say nothing is impossible, but I do nothing every day.”-Winnie The Pooh

I must start with a good, old Pooh Bear saying. There are a lot of quotes from Winnie the Pooh that are inspiring. Maybe it’s just the stuffed bear’s simplicity that makes him stand out.

“Crying helps me slow down and obsess over the weight of life’s problems.” — Sadness

Ok, this one is not exactly ‘inspiring’, but it’s so real. And, let’s be honest, pretty dark for a Disney movie. I included this in the list to say that it’s ok to cry for a little bit. It’s ok to feel a little sorry for yourself when things aren’t going so great.

“Your identity is your most valuable possession. Protect it.” — Elastigirl

Many people forget their values when facing difficult decisions. They lose who they are and what they stand for. This quote from The Incredibles depicts what the most important thing about yourself is.

“When you hit bottom, the only place left to go is up.” — Joshua Sweet

This quote is from the movie Atlantis. To be honest, I didn’t even know this movie existed until a few weeks ago. And this saying is one of my favorite quotes because it’s just so true. If you are literally at the bottom, you can’t go more down. You can only go up. This quote works on an emotional level as well. If you think that you are at the worst point of your life- good for you! It can only get better from here!

“If you focus on what you left behind, you will never be able to see what lies ahead.” — Chef Gusteau

This quote from Ratatouille is so simple to understand. Sometimes the past is an unbearable weight chained to our bodies. But, you need to let go of your past and focus on your future goals.

“The very things that hold you down are going to lift you.”- Dumbo

This quote said in Dumbo speaks for itself.

“ Venture outside your comfort zone. The rewards are worth it.” -Tangled

This quote is so true!! So many people are scared to do things that are unfamiliar to them. If that’s you, be afraid no more! Take it from Rapunzel, going outside your comfort zone is worth the risk.

“The problem is not the problem. The problem is your attitude about the problem.” -Jack Sparrow

Ahhh. Jack Sparrow from the Pirates of the Caribbean. I can just imagine him saying this to Will Turner. A positive attitude about a problem is better than getting frustrated altogether.

“Oh yes, the past can hurt. But the way I see it, you can either run from it or learn from it.” — Rafiki

Everyone’s been hurt by their past mistakes. And these mistakes can help us grow as people.

“Now, think of the happiest things. It’s the same as having wings.” — Peter Pan

When you are feeling down, think about all the positive things that have happened to you. They will lift you.

Feeling nostalgic yet? Hopefully, these lines spoken by imaginary characters helped inspire you. Or at least inspired you to go back and watch all the Disney movies you might have missed.
