We’ve all had mentors and role models who inspire us to be the best versions of ourselves. Their wise words give us hope we can mold our own futures and change the world for the better. They are there to critique in order to make us better and to praise us for our accomplishments. Their life advice lets us know we can provide a solution to any problem, even when it seems impossible. But sometimes we make life too complicated. We think of every way a situation could go wrong and make our lives miserable. Maybe if we took a step back and thought in the simplistic way of a child, we could see more clearly. Kid President’s series of YouTube videos give us that clear perspective. This 10-year-old’s advice speaks volumes about life and why you should “give the world a reason to dance.”
Here are some of the most profound life lessons Kid President has bestowed upon us:
When You Want To Show Someone You Care
"You're so awesome I named my boat after you."
“You could be like Airbud. There’s like 18 of those, and that’s pretty awesome.”
“The world needs you.”
When You Want To Encourage Someone
“Be your own Beyoncé!”
“If life is a game, aren’t we all on the same team? I’m on your team, be on my team.”
When Someone Needs A Reality Check
“If you don’t got no money, don’t spend it!”
“Some days you’ll get ice cream. Some days you won’t.”
“You can do it! But don’t say it if it’s something they can’t do.”
“It’s okay to disagree, but it’s not okay to be mean.”
The Daily Reminders That Matter Most
“Life is tough, but so are you.”
And at the end of the day, all the little things that could make life unbearable are irrelevant because “somebody stole my juice box, but joke’s on them because it was only 10 percent sugar.”
