Peter Pan will forever be my all time favorite story for the sheer fact that it provides the hope that anything you dream can become a reality.

1. Never Grow Up

Yes, we all grow up and we can't control the fact that we age. But, we can keep our youthful nature and lightheartedness. The fact is that we should always keep a little bit of a child within all of us. The child within us helps us dream and nurtures the ability to be able to resist getting caught up in the mundane adult lifestyle.

2. Believe in Yourself

"The moment you doubt whether you can fly you cease ever to be able to." Always believe that you can. Your dreams are never too big. If you never try or never believe that you are able to achieve your goals then you will never reach them. Always believe in yourself and your abilities and always try to push yourself to reach the goals you set for yourself.

3. Mothers are Important

Peter and the lost boys had almost everything a child or teenager dreams of. They had no authority to tell them what to do or where to go. They had the freedom to eat, say, or do whatever they felt like. Yet, Peter was looking for a mother for the boys. The boys practically begged Wendy to be their mother. They were missing that head authority figure to teach them, in love, what is right and wrong. Wendy and her brothers end up going back home from Neverland because they missed their parents. Peter Pan's story shows a large link between children and their need for loving parents.

4. "To Die Would Be An Awfully Big Adventure"

Most everyone fears death, because there is no knowledge as to what is next. But, what if we started viewing death as the start of something greater? As a Christian it solidifies the fact that something much more promising is out there. That yes, dying is going to be an amazing adventure and the start of a better world.
