There isn't another show like it. How I Met Your Mother was one of the funniest, yet most realistic sitcoms out there. The show succeeded at being not only comedic, but heart-warming, serious, and a constant reminder of how valuable friendship is. Throughout the series, Ted's stories to his children taught all of us these valuable life lessons:
1. Don't run back to something just because it's familiar.
2. Timing. Is. Everything.
3. Life is about taking scary risks.
4. There's 6 billion fish in the sea.
5. Eventually, the time will come to just move on.
6. Life is about the journey and making the most of it.
7. Nothing good happens past 2 a.m.
8. Nothing is more important than being honest with yourself.
9. Never settle for less than you deserve.
10. Just because it's unexpected, doesn't make it wrong.
11. Things happen for a reason.
12. Your friends' relationships will always annoy you, but one day you'll be that person.
13. Everyone is a psychopath at some point.
14. Live in the moment.
15. Life is going to suck every once in a while.
16. It is totally human to make mistakes.
17. Stop holding grudges.
18. Make the most out of everything.
19. You can't plan out your life.
20. Nothing can break true friendship.
