Quote of the day by Meryl Streep: ‘In the end, it's what feels right to you…’
Meryl Streep's anticipated return in 'The Devil Wears Prada 2' has sparked excitement, but her real-life wisdom offers a different perspective. The acclaimed actress shared a profound quote emphasizing self-reliance and trusting one's inner voice over external advice. Streep's message highlights the importance of making personal choices, as ultimately, individuals face the consequences of their own decisions.
Meryl Streep is set to return with 'The Devil Wears Prada 2', and the trailer has left the movie buffs in a frenzy. While every fashion girl in the world is eagerly waiting for the film to release, the internet is obsessed with whether or not the famous Miranda Priestly would deliver some banger quotes. We all love her sass, including the time when she said, “Details of your incompetence do not interest me.” Well, let’s look at what really would interest you? Meryl Streep’s famous quote on life. Quote of the day: “I know life is short and I’m a lucky woman. I think that you find your own way. You have your own rules. You have your own understanding of yourself, and that’s what you’re going to count on. In the end, it’s what feels right to you. Not what your mother told you. Not what some actress told you. Not what anybody else told you but the still, small voice.”What that means: While Miranda Priestly is an icy boss, real-life Meryl Streep isn’t. Yes, she speaks her mind, but not necessarily as cold as the Runway editor. Back in 2005, when Meryl Streep was promoting her then release ‘Prime’, she shared words of wisdom with her co-star Uma Thurman. The latter was interviewing the veteran actor for Oprah’s show.
During the show, while they were discussing working women, Streep spoke about how life is short. “ What do you know for sure?” Uma Thurman asked, and Meryl Streep expressed how life is fleeting, so one should rely on one's own intuition. You may come across millions of people, some may hand out unsolicited opinion, but no one knows for sure. No one can really tell you what’s right or wrong, unless they are in your shoes. Rather than giving in to societal expectations, advice from others, or celebrity opinions, Meryl Streep emphasizes why it is crucial to hear your ‘small voice’. Do what feels inherently right. This may not necessarily align with what others told you, but at least it's still yours. You are the one facing the consequences of your actions, so it would be the ones that your heart really whispered to you. This also applies to every aspect of your life, not just your career. After all life is short, let the mistakes and right decisions be truly yours.
