Adventure Time is undoubtedly one of the greatest cartoons on TV right now. Its dynamic cast of characters, vibrant settings and exciting plots are only a few of the many aspects of this show that make it so great. Despite its overall colorful and comedic exterior, however, a lot of the things the characters say are very meaningful, thought-provoking and philosophical. Here are 10 life lessons Adventure Time taught me.
1. It takes time to be good at something
Although cliche, the old saying "practice makes perfect" is absolutely true. It's impossible to be great at something overnight; it takes patience, time and dedication.
2. We're only human
As humans, it's only natural and in our design to make mistakes. We're simply not perfect. And that's okay! We need to make mistakes in order to improve ourselves, and the people around us.
3. Life is about constantly striving for more
Life is about constantly having new goals to achieve. It is important to create new goals and obstacles for yourself in order to have something to strive for.
4. Live life how you want to
Nobody else can tell you how to live your life. Choose how you want to live it, as long as it makes you happy.
5. Your true friends will always be there for you, no matter what
In your lifetime, friends will come and go. Your true friends, however, will always stay by your side.
6. Life can be difficult and scary, but you can change that if you choose to
Nobody said life was easy. The important thing to do when life gets tough is to always find the positives, and overcome those challenges.
7. Accept your mistakes, and strive to improve
There is nothing wrong with admitting your faults. Especially if you try to improve yourself by seeing your errors.
8. Love yourself
The most important person who should love you is yourself! Take note of the things that make you special and important, and remember them.
9. Don't dwell on the things that hurt you
People come and go from our lives. The key to not dwelling on the past, is to move on and look to the future.
10. The future is unpredictable
Nobody knows for certain what the future will bring. All we can do now is stay in the present, and be ready for whatever the future holds.
