We all have our favorite TV shows. If you’re like me, you start a show, fall in love with the characters and their story and spend all your free time binge-watching it and following accounts on social media dedicated to your new obsession. If you’re watching your show live and having to wait a week (and sometimes longer if they go on hiatus), I apologize for your agony. Either way, there are lines in your show that will impact you. I’d like to share 10 quotes from a show that’s gotten me through the past eight years. Here’s to Castle.
1. “We are bound by our choices, but we are more than our mistakes.”
After all, we learn from our mistakes. I do, and so do YOU.
2. “Risking our hearts is why we’re alive. The last thing you want is to look back on your live and wonder ‘if only.’”
You never know unless you try, right?
3. “Even on the worst days there is a possibility for joy.”
Keep your head up. There’s always something, no matter how small, to smile about.
4. “If you don’t believe in even the possibility of magic, you’ll never ever find it.”
Believe in something. Be optimistic. Be open. You never know what could happen.
5. “Rejection isn’t failure. Failure is giving up. Everyone gets rejected. It’s how you handle it that determines where you’ll end up.”
Let rejection drive you and not tear you down. Keep trying. It happens to all of us.
6. “You think it’s a weakness? Make it a strength. It’s a part of you. So use it.”
Find a way to use that weakness and drive yourself forward.
7. “That’s why we need fairy tales. In the face of too much reality, to remind us that happy endings are still possible.”
Stay hopeful. There’s happiness out there. Find yours and stop worrying about other's happiness.
8. “What’s a great love story without obstacles to overcome? Every fairy tale has them. Terrible trials that only the worthy can transcend... But you can’t give up. That’s the deal. We want the happy ending? We can’t give up.”
Love is hard work but worth it.
9. “Sometimes the hardest things in life are the things most worth doing.”
Climb the mountain. Defeat the inner self doubt. It’s worthwhile in the end.
10. “Follow your heart and you can’t go wrong.”
Stay true to yourself and let your heart to decide. (See, Castle agrees!)
