As a Disney-enthusiast, I pride myself on finding a Disney quote that fits every situation. As a Disney-loving teacher, I provide my students with Disney Quotes of the Day. I believe that it’s important to find inspiration to work hard in all things. With that being said, let’s get into my favorite Disney quotes and their situations.

I’m Stuck in a Rut…

All our dreams can come true if we have the courage to pursue them. -Walt Disney

When I find myself in a creative rut, I tend to turn to Walt Disney. His story has always inspired me. He believed enough in his own dreams to never stop pursuing them. Even when he accomplished his dreams, he continued to pursue more and build even more. What’s more amazing is that his dreams were never purely selfish. He built a legacy that would touch generations to come. Walt Disney is responsible for a lot of my favorite Disney quotes, but there are still more to share.

Fairy tales can come true. You gotta make them happen, it all depends on you. -Tiana

Tiana is one of my favorite princesses. I admire her work ethic and the fact that she is not an “everyday princess”. She has no problem working to make things happen for herself. Instead of waiting for things to be handed to her, she works hard until her dreams can come true. We have to remember that anything is possible with a little hard work and determination.

Life’s Got Me Down…

When life gets you down, you know what you gotta do? Just keep swimming! -Dory

Dory is a character that has captured the hearts of many. No matter what difficulty she faces, she takes on a positive attitude and mindset. I strive to be this kind of person. Instead of crumbling (or folding) under the pressure, I strive to be a person who still has a positive outlook.

You are braver than you believe. Stronger than you seem.  Smarter than you think. -Christopher Robin

This is one of the mottos of my classroom. I believe that it’s important for my students to recognize the strength within themselves. Even as an adult, it’s important for me to recognize the strength within myself. We tend to underestimate ourselves a lot, but my challenge to you is to never do that. Recognize that strength and brilliance that lives within you.

I’m Feeling Inspired…

It’s kind of fun to do the impossible. -Walt Disney

This is my favorite Disney quote. Period. I love doing the very things that people say is not possible. It gives me great joy to prove people wrong. When I get told no, I find a way around it. Instead of allowing people to deter us, we need to use their thoughts, words, or behaviors to be all of the inspiration that we need.

Adventure is out there. -Up

Though I have never seen up, I understand why it is such a major hit. I’ve heard several versions of how people interpreted the movie. While it is my plan to sit down and watch it, I have still found inspiration in the movie. I’ve always likened myself to Moana. I follow everything adventurous, because I consider myself to be an adventurous person. If you, too, are one, then recognize that adventure is out there. Pursue it.

What About You?

Now… I recognize that this doesn’t scratch the surface of the many Disney quotes, nor does it cover the many moods of human beings. So, I’d love for you to share some of your favorite Disney quotes below, and why (and/or how) the quotes impact you. I’d feel even more magical if you could share the love by sharing this post. Until next time!
