A few weeks ago, I went to see the movie Indiana Jones Raiders of the Lost Ark in concert. What made this screening special was that I got to watch the film again while John Williams’ score was performed live by the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra.
Harrison Ford is one of my favourite actors. This is mainly because my two most adored fictional characters are Indiana Jones and Hans Solo from Star Wars.
Watching Indie in action reminded me of a quote from Harrison Ford. It could be inspirational for anyone holding themselves back out of fear of being criticised, judged or simply worrying too much about what other people think. So, I thought I would share it below.
“They will criticise you for what you are, for what you are not, and for what they think you are.
They will judge you for what you do, for what you don’t do, and for what you fail to do.
They will talk about you for what you say and for what you keep silent about.
They will point at you for your successes and for your mistakes, for your decisions and for your doubts.
No matter how much you try to please, there will always be opinions.
So, live for yourself, because in the end, the only thing that matters is being true to your own path.”
And I thought I would add in a Han Solo quote for more inspiration.
“Look, your worshipfulness, let’s get one thing straight. I take orders from just one person: Me.”
