If you watch Parks and Recreation, you probably remember that time Ben Wyatt was identified as "Human Disaster" on live television. Sometimes it feels like life is going so horribly wrong that it would be best to just slap a sign on your forehead that says "Human Disaster." Maybe you're having a rough time at work or school, or maybe you were elected mayor of your town at 18 and made it go bankrupt because you built a winter sports complex. Whatever it may be, just know that it won't always be so bad. For now, here are 10 motivational messages from Parks and Recreation to lift your spirits.
1. You are a smart and beautiful person
Yes, even Jerry deserves to know how awesome he really is. Make sure to remind yourself every once in a while that you're a pretty cool person/superhero too.
2. Everything will work out in the end
Life might not be going as planned but it helps if you believe that you can achieve your goals.
3. It pays to put forth your best effort
The wise words from Ron Swanson. When you set out to do something, give it everything you've got.
4. Keep a positive attitude
At least no one can say you didn't try.
5. Treat yourself every once in a while
Get yourself something nice on occasion, but don't treat yourself too often or you'll have bankruptcy to add to your list of problems.
6. Don't get too upset about whatever's bothering you
Some harsh advice from Ron, so take it as you will. It's okay to cry, but try not to get too down in the dumps. It'll all be okay.
7. Everyone struggles
Believe me, you aren't the only one who has no idea what's going on. Life is a complicated problem we're all trying to solve.
8. You can rely on friends to be there for you
They might not be able to text you every 30 seconds, but you can count on your closest friends or family to get you through the tough times.
9. You are an accomplished person
You've made it this far. Even if you feel like you haven't accomplished anything big, don't forget to count all the little things you've done in your life.
10. You can do it!
When life knocks you down, get back up. Aspire to be like Leslie Knope. She's ready to take on the world, and she knows she's fierce and powerful. So are you.
