11 Life Lessons From Disney
Disney Films

In times of trouble, or when I'm feeling down, some of the fondest memories I call upon to make me feel better involve Disney movies. I absolutely love how they make you feel! Their stories always seem to strike just the right chord with us, and through heart-touching stories, music, and characters, they leave you with the right heart and spirit to take on the real world-- making you twitterpated, getting rid of your worries (and your strifes) for the rest of your days, and helping you find the element of fun in every job that must be done.

If you grew up watching Disney movies, then there's probably plenty of words of wisdom that can give you a boost when life gives you more lemons. Now lets look back at some of our beloved Disney characters, and get a little reminder if you're in need of some Disney inspiration:

1. Don't judge a book by it's cover.


Belle found something really special in The Beast by opening him up and (metaphorically, of course) seeing inside. We should try that with the seemingly beastly people we might know in our lives—who knows? There may be something there we didn't see before!


2. Adventure is out there!

Whether you're an old retired widow or a talking dog, adventure is out there! Go find it!


3. You're the one who can fill the world with sunshine!

Take Snow White's mantra with you every day, and be the sunshine this world needs!


4. If the shoe fits, wear it (to a magnificent ball!)

Cinderella didn't ask for a fairy godmother, but she needed a miracle. When an opportunity comes your way, take it!


5. When life gets you down, just keep swimming!

Just keep swimming, swimming, swimming. What do you do? You swim, swim, swim.


6. Try to look from a different angle.

Hiro Hamada solved many problems by looking at them another way! You can too!

7. We might ask God for an angel, but sometimes, he sends a dog.

Be honest—it was the dog that rescued you.

8. Love is putting someone else's needs before your own.

Like Kristoff did! Do the same, and hopefully you can find someone that will reciprocate with you!


9. Heroes come in all species and sizes.

Judy AND Nick couldn't have done it all without each other!


10. Sometimes the right path is not the easiest one.

Take it from our favorite Willow—sometimes doing the harder thing is the better thing.

And finally:

11. IT'S A TRAP


Have a magical day!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
