By Flavia Medrut,

Reported to be one of the most generous actors in Hollywood, Keanu Reeves was born in Beirut, Lebanon, and was raised in Toronto, Canada.Reeves began his acting career at the age of nine and Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure was the first movie to bring him major recognition. However, playing hero Neo in sci-fi extravaganza The Matrix, made him an international superstar.Throughout his life, Reeves has been no stranger to hardship. His father left him and his mother when he was only 2 years old and was later imprisoned for selling heroin. His mother went on to marry three more times and they moved a lot.In 1999, Keanu’s longtime girlfriend Jennifer Syme, gave birth to a stillborn baby girl, and after 18 months she also died in a car crash. Remarkably, all these tragedies couldn’t stop him from becoming the awesome person that he is today.

Compared to other glamorous celebrities, Reeves lives a quiet and calm way of life and didn’t even own a house until 2003. He battles his demons with grace and shows nothing but kindness by supporting many good causes.

Here are 20 Keanu Reeves quotes to help you create beauty from tragedy.

Grief changes shape but it never ends.

You have to change your life if you’re not happy, and wake up if things aren’t going the way you want.

The simple act of paying attention can take you a long way.

When you truly understand karma then you realize you are responsible for everything in your life. It is incredibly empowering to know that your future is in your hands.

Art is about trying to find the good in people and making the world a more compassionate place.

Even in the face of tragedy, a stellar person can thrive. No matter what’s going on in your life, you can overcome it! Life is worth living.

    I wish there were more people in this sad world like you. I know you help people. Could you help me?? I don’t want too say what on here. It would be greatly appreciated if you would contact me by my email address. Thank you for reading this.
    A True Fan of Yours!!!!

  2. Don’t get me wrong from the beginning, i love my Keanu Reeves, just speaking in general, a successful person “quotes” always make sense, and the same quotes from unknown or still struggling person will be treated like a piece of trash.

  3. I wonder if this enlightened soul is a glorious star seed..
    he stands alone
    shines with dignity and humility .
    and no coincidence he would be chosen to be Neo.

  4. Beautiful quotes ..money is nothing but good health is .I’m in very poor health but I try too make the best out of my life very quote you have said has so much meaning too it

  5. Keanu Reeves reveals the infinite possibilities of the human being: We are able to turn a great tragedy into something useful, beautiful, constructive; how? Learning to transmute energy.
