Why This One Movie Quote Has Stuck With Me For Years

I can’t live without the “box of chocolates” quote from “Forrest Gump.” The quote is, “My mother always said that life was like a box of chocolates. There’s no telling what you’re gonna get.” 

It is a quote I cannot live without because it proves that life is an adventure  and is alway full of surprises. You don’t know who you will meet or what you will see in life, so you should always take what you get with pride and say, “This is the chocolate set I’m getting today, so I’m going to eat it.” 

Additionally, it shows that in life, you’ll face challenges that can teach you to become better than you were before — but only if you let them. It is imperative to embrace those experiences in order to get where you want to go, and there is nothing wrong with being unsuccessful at first. After all, learning is what life’s all about. 

Life is all about taking chances. When you’re looking for your path, you might think it’s a straight line to your goals but then learn that you have to go through a lot of ups and downs before you can reach them. What matters, though, is that you set out on the path anyway and try to affect people positively along the way.

The “box of chocolate” quote goes to show that you’re going to have good days and bad days — and you never know which your days will be until you start them. At the end of the day, though, you just have to keep going and being who you really are — like Forrest Gump did. Just like Forrest, you can make a difference in the world, but if you don’t take chances and embrace the different flavors of chocolate in your box, you might never get there. THanks to this quote, instead of doing the ordinary, I strive to be an extraordinary person. 

I can’t live without this quote because it reminds me to keep going and tell my story no matter where life’s adventures take me. No matter what bumps I hit along the way, I have to keep going — it’s all part of my “box of chocolates.”   

Sometimes life may be boring, sometimes it may be fun, and sometimes it may be sad, but all of those “random” types of days have meaning in the overall purpose of your life. You never know who may need your story to survive, so embrace the lessons you learn from each of those types of days — and share them with others if you can. 

There are a lot of people who could learn from this quote and reflect on how even their bad days made them into the people they are now. We may not know what to expect in life, and life may throw us lots of curveballs, but even with those challenges, life can be sweet when we face it with positivity. Every one of us has a “box of chocolates,” and not all of them taste great, but it all comes down to what we do with our “candy box” and how we respond to the challenges we face.
