Kung-Fu-Panda Wisdom

Everyday teachings and positive quotes are all around us. All we have to do is look for them, and you will see how quickly they will appear. Even in kid’s movies like the Kung Fu Panda which happens to be one of my favorite’s animation movies in a long time. I never realized how many life learning quotes this movie could have.
Don’t be fooled by this animation movie, besides the colorful and friendly characters, these “cartoonish” movies bring many positive life teaching massages. This is why I have decided to include some of quotes from different characters from this movie.
The Zen of Kung Fu Panda:
“Now… The most important time is now…” Soothsayer
“Your story may not have such a happy beginning, but that doesn’t make you who you are, it is the rest of your story, who you choose to be… …So who are you Panda?” Soothsayer
“Anything is possible when you have inner peace.” Shifu
“Once I realized the problem was not you but within me, I found inner peace and was able to harness the flow of the universe.” Shifu – Kung Fu Panda 2 quote
“Maybe I should just quit and go back to making noodles.” Po
“Quit, don’t quit? Noodles, don’t noodles? You are too concerned about what was and what will be. There is a saying: yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift. That is why it is called the “present.” Oogway
Dialog between Mr. Ping and Po
Mr. Ping: “The secret ingredient is… nothing!
Po: Huh?
Mr. Ping: You heard me. Nothing! There is no secret ingredient.
Po: Wait, wait… it’s just plain old noodle soup? You don’t add some kind of special sauce or something?
Mr. Ping: Don’t have to. To make something special you just have to believe it’s special.
[Po looks at the scroll again, and sees his reflection in it]
Po: There is no secret ingredient.”
I can’t explain how much I love this teaching, the fact there is no special ingredient and to make something special you just have to believe it is special. This also tells us, the answer is always within us. Most of the time we are always looking for answers everywhere, not realizing that our answer is always in front of our two eyes.
