My mama always said “Life is like a box chocolate… you never know what you are going to get.” When it comes to this quote Forest Gump says it to a lady sitting at a bus stop because he was talking to the lady about issues in life that she had. The whole movie is a series of flashbacks to Forest sitting on this bench telling his life story. Each pahase of his life starts with him telling the listener My mama used to say…
This quote really reveals to a person that life has to be taken one day at a time. There is no way of knowing what is going to come next so you have to be happy with the surprises that you get. This quote really inspires me because I take life on one step at a time. The fact that I take all the seconds of the day as they come to me and try to enjoy them like I would a chocolate. Chocolate makes anything better.
Not only that but when I am driving I take every second to get to know my surroundings and to see what is coming next. You have to do this with your whole existence. Just like you never know what is coming next in a box of chocolate you never know what is coming next in life but hopefully you will remember to enjoy what God gives you.
