13 Comforting Dear Zindagi Quotes That Will Help
1. Kabhi Kabhi hum mushkil rasta sirf is liye chunte hai, kyun ki humein lagta hai, important cheezein paane ke liye humein mushkil rasta apnana chahiye. Apne aap ko punish karna bohut zaroori samajte hai.
But why? Aasaan rasta kyun nahi chun sakte? Kya burai hai us mein? Khaas karke jab us mushkil ka saamna karne ke liye hum taiyaar hi nahi hai.
"Sometimes we choose the difficult path just because we think that to achieve important things, we must take the hard way. We consider it necessary to punish ourselves. But why? Why can't we choose the easier path? What's wrong with that? Especially when we're not even ready to face the difficulty!"
2. Agar hum apni zindagi ka steering wheel apne haath mein nahi lenge, toh koi dusra driver seat par beth jayega.
"If we don't take the steering wheel of our life in our own hands, someone else will sit in the driver's seat."
3. Jab hum apne aap ko achi tarah se samajh lete hai, toh dusre kya samajte hai, it doesn't matter-not at all.

4. Genius woh nahi hota jis ke paas har sawaal ka jawab ho, genius woh hota hai jis ke paas har jawab tak pahunchne ka patience ho.
"A genius is not someone who has the answers to every question; a genius is someone who has the patience to reach every answer."
5. Albert Einstein ne kaha tha, "Pagal woh hota hai joh roz roz same kaam karta hai, magar chahta hai ki nateeja alag ho.
"Albert Einstein said, 'Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, but expecting different results."
6. Bachchpan main jab rona aata hai, toh bade bolte hai aasun pocho. Jab gussa aata hai, toh bade kehte hai smile taaki ghar ki shanti bani rahe. Nafrat karna chahe, toh ijazat nahi di. Aur jab pyaar karna chaha, toh pata chala ye saala emotional system hi gadbada gaya, kaam nahi kar raha, cannot function.
Rona, gussa, nafrat kuch bhi khul ke express nahi karne diya. Ab pyaar kaise express kare?
"In childhood, when you felt like crying, the elders would say, 'wipe your tears.' When you were angry, they would tell you to smile to maintain peace in the house. When you wanted to hate, you weren't give permission. And now, when you finally wanted to love, you realize that the whole emotional system was messed up, it isn't working, it cannot function. You were never allowed to fully express your sadness, anger, or hatred. Now, how are you suppose to express love?"
7. Tum agar khul ke ro nahi sakogi, toh khul kar hass kaise paogi!
"If you can't cry openly, how will you be able to laugh freely."
8. Safe feel karne ke liye pehle saare dar mitana zaroori hai. Chod diya jaana ka, akele rehne ka dar. Kyun na hum is dar hi ko once and for all bye bol de. Kyun na hum zindagi se hi kar ke vapas zindagi se mulakat kare.
To feel safe, we first need to let go of all our fears-the fear of being abandoned, the fear of being alone. What if we just said goodbye to these fears once and for all? Why don't we say hello to life again and fully embrace it once more?

"Life is like a jigsaw puzzle. People like me can only help you find and connect the missing pieces, but only you can complete the puzzle."
12. Zindagi main jab koi pattern banta ya koi aadat banti dikhai de na, toh uske baare main achi tarah se sochna chahiye, genius is about knowing when to stop.
"When you notice a pattern forming or a habit taking shape in your life, you should think carefully about it. Genius is knowing when to stop."

I hope these Dear Zindagi quotes bring you the comfort you need during tough times. These quotes hopefully remind you that you are not alone-better days are just around the corner.
As a therapist, I appreciate the way the film has brought attention to mental health and therapy; however, it's also important to recognize the difference between cinematic portrayal and real-life therapy. The movie did a great job capturing the essence of self-discovery and emotional healing, but the process is usually much more complex in reality. Therapy is a gradual, patient-driven journey, where it is rare for a therapist to offer direct advice or immediate wisdom.
This movie, while not a perfect representation of therapy, remains a comfort film for many, offering valuable lessons on self-acceptance and navigating relationships. It provides a sense of reassurance and hope, making the idea of therapy more approachable and relatable for a wider audience.
And isn't that what movies are all about- to connect with us, inspire us, and bring comfort and hope, even if they don't always show things exactly as they are?
