Bob Marley lived his life with impact and purpose, and we can feel the difference that he made each time we start playing his one-of-a-kind, feel-good tunes. We can all learn something from his music and the way he lived to be our best selves and live our best lives. To celebrate his birthday, take a moment to relax and let his words inspire you to live a full, beautiful, and meaningful life.

"One good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain."

Listen to the music play and be free.

"Open your eyes, look within. Are you satisfied with the life you're living?"

You can always change your life, even in small ways.

"Don't gain the world and lose your soul; wisdom is better than silver or gold."

Who we are means so much more than what we have.

"When one door is closed, don't you know, another is open."

Sometimes it takes a little searching to find it, but a new road is out there.

"You have to be someone."

The best someone to be is yourself. Live life meaningfully, and make it yours.

"In this bright future you can't forget your past."

Your past is part of who you are. Keep going forward with all that you've learned.

"None but ourselves can free our minds."

Your mind is your own and no one else's.

"Money can't buy life."

Don't get so swept up in the material world that you forget to live.

"Man is a universe within himself."

You are full of infinite possibilities. You never know what you can discover about yourself at any time of life.

"My future is righteousness."

You have the power to take good actions.

"Tell the children the truth."

Teach your children well, and spread your wisdom. The future will be better for it.

"Some people feel the rain, others just get wet."

Life is how we react to the world around us and what happens to us.

"Live for yourself and you will live in vain. Live for others and will live again."

Live fully by realizing that you are important to someone, and be there for them.

"Beginnings are usually scary, and endings are usually sad, but it's everything in between that makes it all worth living."

Each day is special, even if it's a tough one. Bad days make you stronger for tomorrow.

"You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have."

Your own inner strength will amaze you.

A life that's loved is the best life.

There never has been and will never be another you as you are now.

"One love, one heart. Let's get together and feel alright."

Love those you are with.

"I am not perfect and I don't have to be!"

If there was such a thing as a perfect person, they probably wouldn't be that interesting. Your imperfections are what make you you.
