Parks and Rec can be hilarious, but it can also offer some really great advice and lessons for life. Here are 11 of them.

1. Sometimes, you have to put yourself first.

2. And yes, having yourself is enough.

3. There are times when you just have to accept that everything is going downhill.

4. But if you work hard, you'll pull through (although you don't have to be quite as intense as Leslie Knope).

5. Prioritizing your responsibilities is extremely important.

6. Stick to your principles and values.

7. That means being honest, even when it's really hard to.

8. It's okay to be openly proud of your own achievements -- you deserve it.

9. Admit to your mistakes; everybody makes them.

10. Always set goals for yourself and celebrate your achievements; never stop believing in yourself.

11. Put 100% into everything you do, but know your limits. Don't put so much on your plate that you're giving everything just a fraction of your effort.
