"Criminal Minds" is more than just a show about profiling criminals. Each episode gives you a life lesson, whether it be small or big. Sometimes it's an obvious lesson and sometimes it's not, but it's always there every single episode.
1. Trust.
The team working together on serious crimes shows that each and every team member has to trust each other because if they don't, one of them could get killed. Sometimes it's hard to trust someone and "Criminal Minds" shows that, but in the end, trust is an important aspect that everyone needs in their life.
2. True friendship.
Spencer Reid and Derrick Morgan show the true meaning of friendship on the show. They mess around with each other, but as soon as one of them has an issue, they are there for each other right away without hesitation. Everyone needs a friend that is either their Spencer Reid or Derrick Morgan.
3. Love comes in all forms.
Derrick Morgan and Penelope Garcia prove this life lesson true in every episode and if you have ever watched the show, you know it's true! They flirt like they are dating, but at the end of the day, they just love each other as friends and prove that love doesn't always have to be romantic.
4. Forgiveness is always possible.
Whether you realize it or not, everyone deserves a second chance, even you. Everyone makes mistakes and that is ok.
5. Don't judge a book by its cover.
For example, Derrick Morgan looks like a tough guy that wouldn't have a heart, but boy is that wrong. Morgan is one of the ones on the show with the biggest heart out of all of them and he gets that from things he had to go through. So don't ever think someone is who they are just from their appearance.
6. Sadness will happen.
"Criminal Minds" seems to always have something sad happen to a team member or someone close to them, but they prove that you can move on after something sad happens to you. It might take some time, but you can do it!
7. People will come and go.
Throughout the show, there were team members that came and went, but each time it didn't matter any less. People come and leave your life for specific reasons, sometimes an unknown reason but they do.
8. Strength.
If your job is protecting people and going after bad guys, you're gonna need a lot of strength to get through your day. The BAU team proves that you have strength no matter the situation or whether you think you have it or not.
9. Family isn't always biological.
The BAU team shows this every single episode. Anyone can be your family, they don't have to be blood-related to be family. Family are the people that love you and support you day in and day out.
10. Anything is possible in the world.
"Criminal Minds" just goes to prove this based on all the different crimes they solve. Never think that something won't happen to you because anything is possible.
11. Always trust your instinct.
If you think something is wrong or right, always go with your instinct because most of the time you will be right!
