20 Life Lessons That We Learned From Disney Movies

If you're anything like me, you grew up watching the classic Disney movies. Your whole childhood consisted of pretending to be a real life prince or princess, or maybe even a talking animal character. Maybe you pretended your house was Pride Rock, or maybe you reenacted Ariel's giant wave scene on a rock in your yard. Maybe Disney movies gave you hope for your future life as a young adult. They made you believe that someday your prince will really come, and we really are all the same. Two worlds, one family, right? Disney movies weren't just fun to watch as a little kid; they taught us all very valuable life lessons that we will remember forever.

1. Don't trust everyone you meet.

2. Always believe in yourself.

3. You never really have to grow up (at least not in your heart).

4. The grass is always greener on the other side.

5. Turn your mistakes into life lessons.

6. Walk in the shoes of others to understand them.

7. Family isn't necessarily blood-related.

8. You can do anything you put your mind to.

9. Don't settle for anything less than you deserve.

10. Being in love means putting others before yourself.

11. Don't judge a book by its cover.

12. Family is everything.

13. True friends will stick with you through it all.

14. If you're kind, good karma will come your way.

15. You have to make your own decisions.

16. It's better to be an original than exactly like everyone else.

17. Telling the truth will do more good than bad.

18. Looks aren't everything.

19. Actions speak louder than words.

20. We're all apart of the circle of life.


Whether you grew up watching the beloved Disney classics or you showed them to your children, they have a special place in all of our hearts. No one can say they weren't heart broken when Mufasa died, or happy beyond belief when the Belle broke the spell. These movies are regarded as classics for a reason. They have taught us all one of the most important life lessons of all -- you're never too old for Disney.

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.
