1. Life
A number of quotes from Kermit the Frog are an observation on life. He has a way of distilling the infinitely complicated to a simple statement we can easily digest and appreciate. This one really appeals to the traveler in me but I think everyone can relate. Too right there are sometimes more rough spots than comfort spots, and many times, we will turn down a road and find ourselves in unfamiliar territory.
Kermit's pearls of wisdom remind us that life's journey isn't meant to be a smooth sail; it's the bumps along the way that shape our experiences and growth. His words resonate with the adventurous at heart and comfort those who find themselves anxious when faced with the unknown. Embracing the twists and turns, just as this endearing frog suggests, can lead to the most rewarding of life's treasures. Despite the uncertainty, there's a beautiful lesson in every challenge we encounter along our path.
2. Green
This might seem like such a throwaway comment. Kermit’s a frog. Frogs are green. Ergo Kermit is green. However, if you dig deep into the lyrics of the song “It’s Not Easy Being Green,” there’s a rather fantastic message. “It's not easy being green. It seems you blend in with so many other ordinary things. And people tend to pass you over 'cause you're not standing out like flashy sparkles in the water or stars in the sky. But green's the color of spring. And green can be cool and friendly-like. And green can be big like an ocean, or important like a mountain, or tall like a tree.” To me he is saying it doesn’t matter what “color” (or shape, size, race, sex, character) you are – you are beautiful. Embrace your unique beauty.
