The Doctor has said some pretty wise words over the years. Here are a few quotes from the reboot of "Doctor Who" that I like to live by.
1. "Don’t Blink." –Tenth Doctor
The full quote is a little more gruesome than what I intend, but life goes by so fast, if you blink you miss some of the most beautiful things in life.You miss the little things, like when your loved one smiles ear to ear for just the briefest second because a moment of bliss overwhelmed him/her.
2. “In 900 years of time and space, I’ve never met anyone who wasn’t important” - Eleventh Doctor
You may feel small or unimportant, but know that, to someone out there, you are important. You may be their everything, their light in the day, or their saving grace. You are important, beautiful, and wonderful in your own unique way. Don’t let anyone dim your brilliance.
3. “This is who I am, right here, right now, all right? All that counts is here and now, and this is me!” - Ninth Doctor
Stay true to who you are and what you are. No one can change you unless you want to change. Your morals are most important to you and people should understand and respect that. If they don’t? Send them out to the rubbish and tell them to stay out just like bread and butter.
4. “The universe is big. It’s vast and complicated and ridiculous. And sometimes, very rarely, impossible things just happen and we call them miracles” - Eleventh Doctor
Things happen and we do not know why, but that is okay. We can learn to roll with the punches and get over whatever is thrown our way. A bump in the road could lead us to the most amazing thing or experience in our life. Accept the unexpected and live with happy little miracles.
5. Get a Catchphrase!
Every regeneration had one, so you should too! Whether you are saving the world or just tackling an assignment worth 50% of your grade, catchphrases are motivational and instill confidence. Grab yourself a personal catchphrase and take on life!
You can find motivation and peace around any corner; I just found mine in a British television series. Carry on my fellow Whovians, wanderers and friends!
