K-Pop idols do a lot more than studio recordings and TV show appearances. Often times, during interviews, concert talks, and even live streams, our favorite idols leave us with relatable advice that are totally applicable to our own lives. Many become a source of wisdom, allowing us to overcome various hurdles and hardships.
BTS' RM is one of the wisest idols in the industry, offering a mountain of wise words readily available for all. Even non-ARMY who come across his words offer the idol a nod of thanks, as he seems to have something to say for every moment.
Being the source of inspiration that he is, we decided to compile a list of inspiring quotes from RM that will surely be the perfect pick-me-up. So take a look at what life coach RM has to say!
1. "When there's love there's hate, when there's light there's dark"

While on the outside, this quote from RM might not seem as inspirational as others, but it gives a taste of reality: that the good cannot exist without the bad. Despite this, good still prevails, as long as that's the thing we focus on. "There's a lot of people that hate me but, on the other side, there are many more people who love me". RM's friendly reminder that there is still good in this world — much more than we think.
2. Focus Less On The Road Not Traveled

"I decided to stop thinking about the road not traveled, and started thinking more on the inevitability of what I've become, as well as accepting the best version of myself."
This quote from RM reminds us not to focus on the 'what if's', but on the person that we already are. His words serve as a call for us to become the best version of ourselves in all aspects of our lives. In RM's case, the best version of himself lies in his music. For us, it's in whatever we decide to pursue. Thanks RM for the motivation!
3. Know And Overcome Your Limits

"I hope you know your limits well, but don't stay within those limits. Overcome the limits each day."
The BTS leader often talks about how he is always learning, despite being a global icon. And while it's important to continuously develop our skills, RM reminds us to recognize our strengths and what we're capable of. In doing so, we'll know the right times to push ourselves and the right time to take a rest. Balance is the name of the game, and RM is here to remind us of just that!

Many might say that failure is not an option. Luckily for us, RM says differently. The idol reminds us that we are not robots, which means we cannot succeed at everything. We will stumble and fall, but it's perfectly fine to do so! All we need to do is pick ourselves back up, seek help when needed, and continue to move forward.
5. Love Yourself

This idea might be cliché, but there's a reason why it's repeated constantly throughout time — and said by RM, no less! Almost everyone has struggled with self love at least once in their life. It's a relatable issue that still occurs today. But RM is here to remind us of its importance and how having self love is critical to not only our personal growth, but our relationship with others. With multiple albums part of the 'Love Yourself' series, it's no wonder the idol is so passionate about this topic!
6. "Stars shine brightest when the night is darkest"
"If the stars are hidden, we'll let moonlight guide us. If even the moon is dark, let our faces be the light that helps us find our way."
Just RM casually reminding us that there is light in the darkness. And that very light just so happens to be ourselves! His words express that we have something special inside that shines as bright as the moon and the stars above. This is a prime example of the phrase "believe in the me, that believes in you". So if you ever begin to doubt your own capabilities, look up this quote by RM and you'll surely be ready to take on whatever comes your way.
7. Looking Towards The Future
"I know your future will bloom to something much bigger and magnificent."
2020 was a tumultuous year for all as the pandemic ravaged the entire globe. Although public gatherings, concerts, and graduation ceremonies were put on hold, life continued to move forward. In this commencement speech done by BTS for the class of 2020, RM had these words to say. Although short, it gives hope for the future and that better times ahead. Although social gatherings have resumed and the world has begun to heal, that hope is still applicable today. Just RM things, instilling hope into our everyday lives.
8. Stay True To Yourself
"No matter who you are, where you're from, your skin color, your gender identity, just speak yourself. Find your name and find your voice by speaking yourself."
Many go through life in search of who they are and what they are meant to become. But RM is here to remind us to stay true to ourselves no matter what. The idol also says that staying true to oneself does not mean that you are perfect, but that you are human and constantly seeking to improve. RM's words are the perfect remedy for any bad day.
