experiences can teach us many things. I have paraphrased the following quotes and although I could have gone much further than 10, here are the top 10 things I selected from Prince's songs and

life

that we can learn and use in our own lives number one dare to be different The Prince once said be brave be brave step forward and own the passion within you means you don't have to follow the path because you will move beyond the pack Prince was never one to compromise, he dared to be different , a rare artist who surprised the world with his

music

, his style and his fame.

He loved to stir people's emotions and was unapologetic about being number two himself in relation to number one. the second life lesson be true to who you are and never let anyone change you Prince said I don't care too much what people think of me, it's usually a reflection of who they are, not who I am. I love that about Prince. I believed, as we all should, that if you judge someone without getting to know them, that is your mistake and perhaps you should reflect on your own values ​​before criticizing others. He also said that being cool means being able to be with yourself, we should be comfortable with ourselves.

If we can't do that, we are not being true to who we are and we can never just be number three. You control your actions, no one else's. He said. You decide how you will live in the world each day. Make it inspired. Prince knew that we are faced with hundreds, if not thousands, of choices every day; In those decisions we can make the world better for ourselves or others, or we can choose not to. He wanted us to make inspired decisions that would help make the world a better place. place that's the kind of world I want to live in and I hope you do too number four every day it's a chance to start over nobody's perfect and Prince was no exception sometimes we have to hit the reset button on our life and try again Prince said that when you wake up, every day looks the same, so every day should be a new beginning, every day is a time to start over and try to be a little better than we were last yesterday.

Number five, don't rely too much on technology. Too much technology can distance us from the reality of life that is right in front of us. If Prince were here, he'd want us to go out and play in the sun, talk to real people, and live our best lives. He even stepped away from technology once in a while. For a time he shut down some of his popular websites, stating that the Internet should not fool us. He said it's great to use the computer as long as you don't let the computer use you. He knew that we can all let ourselves go. with our use of technology, let's not let it take us too far, number six, be open to listening to different types of music throughout your almost entire life of him creating music.

Prince created many different genres, including pop rock, R&B, jazz, funk, and hip-hop, among others. he could play anything, any style. Prince said that real music lovers are actually my favorite kind of people because they like to know things instead of just being told what to think. I think if we open our minds to listening to and appreciating different music, we really open our minds. our minds to listen to and appreciate different people we can also learn a lot from music and people if we simply take the time to listen number seven work hard but also play hard Prince said my father left his piano at home when he left and I wasn't allowed to play it when he was there because I wasn't as good as him, so when he left, I was determined to be as good as him and taught myself to play music not only on the piano but in many other ways. instruments I just stuck with that and played all the time.

Prince knew the benefit of working hard and it paid off. He played most, if not all, of the instruments on many of the albums he released, but he also knew that with work comes reward for playing. Prince knew how to play with the best and I'm not talking about the guitar, he was a prolific basketball player. and he also loved playing ping pong, he loved being outdoors and hanging out with friends, in the words of Prince Let's. Go Crazy we can all take a page from Prince's book on that, let's work as hard as we play the reward is equal on both sides number eight make the right kind of friends Prince sang about friendship in the song she's always in my hair in it Rain sings, my hopes and dreams are going in the wrong direction, she's always there telling me that he knew that friendship can be one of the most valuable things in our lives, but we must be careful who we choose to be friends with. surround ourselves with people who nurture us, don't put us down, people who help us and people who bring out our creative and fun side, if we can find those people, hold on to them, they can be as precious as gold number nine, put love into kindness . the world and it will come back to you Prince knew the value of love and kindness, he once said that when you do something for another person that is Love In Motion you don't need to make it public, love is maybe you have heard that if you put positive vibes in the universe, that's what you will get back, the same works with negative energy.

Also, if that's all you're putting out is negative energy, the universe responds with negative energy, so be careful what you put into the universe. world and do something for love today finally number 10 don't give up Prince had to work hard to get to where he was in life he could have quit he could have given up but he knew what he wanted and even though he fought and faced many challenges he never gave up He said don't give up you never know when you will find gold keep moving forward to get what you want we will all face challenges in our life there will always be obstacles in our path but once we face them and do our best to overcome them the reward is greater so let's take advantage of the opportunity we have in front of us let's not be afraid to ask for help when we need it let's overcome life's obstacles to reach the reward on the other side and of course let's go crazy
