"Parks and Recreation" is arguably one of the funniest and most wonderful shows that has ever blessed the world with its existence. It could just be seen as a typical comedy only created to make you laugh when you are feeling down (which it does), but it is so much more than that. It taught us a lot and each character gives us different insight in how to approach life. They taught us about love, friendship, and so much more. Here are some of the best lessons that "Parks and Rec" has taught us.

1. Be confident!

Tom Haverford had confidence radiating off him like the sun. He taught us to have confidence in what we do.

2. Set goals.

Whether it is short term or long term goals are important. Not only that, Parks and Rec has taught us to be realistic about our goals as well.

3. Don’t over think things.

Andy and April taught us this extremely well when they had an impromptu wedding ceremony and “seriously cannot emphasize enough how little [they] thought about this.”

4. Be proud of where you are from.

Leslie Knope is the epitome of town pride. As crazy as she is sometimes, it’s important to take pride in your hometown or even if it’s not the town itself, maybe the one thing you absolutely love about your home.

5. Be positive!

No one taught us the power of positivity and happiness like Chris Traeger. Live each and every day to your possible fullest.

6. Never give up!

It may have taken Leslie Knope six seasons to get her park built, but she still did it. And in the process she also helped her friends, became City Councilwoman of Pawnee, and more!

7. The importance of pizza.

“Time is money, money is power, power is pizza, and pizza is knowledge.”

8. Be passionate!

All the characters, no matter what, were passionate about what they cared about. They put everything they had into the things they love.

9. Never half-ass two things. Whole-ass one thing.

This is probably one of the most important lessons we could ever learn from the show. We learn to prioritize and focus on one thing at a time. It’ll make our lives a lot easier, and all that we put into our work will come out better than if we “half-ass” everything.

10. The most important things in life are…

“…friends, waffles, and work or waffles, friends, and work. It doesn’t matter. But work is third.”

11. Treat Yo Self!

Last, but certainly not least, and possibly even the most important lesson of all that we can learn from the show is that we all got to learn that is okay to treat ourselves every once in a while—especially when we deserve it.
