It's not all about glass slippers and pixie dust.

8 Times Disney was Right about Life

Disney movies have captured the hearts of people everywhere. Talking animals, singing princesses, handsome princes, evil villains, magic galore. You name it, people are captivated by it.

For me, my favorite part of Disney movies are the quotes - the song lyrics, or things characters say that resonate with your life. And trust me, there is no shortage of Disney quotes. Here are just a few of my favorite ones.

Note - Peter Pan is my favorite Disney movie, but I'm purposely not putting any Peter Pan quotes on here. There are enough Peter Pan quotes for me to write an entire article, which I'll try to do eventually.

1. "Sometimes the right path is not the easiest one." - Grandmother Willow, Pocahontas

Life has its ups and downs; sometimes, it's hard to figure out where to go in life. Especially when the right path seems to be hard. God doesn't promise following Him is easy, but He promises it is worth it.

2. "The flower that blooms in adversity is the rarest and beautiful of all." - The Emperor, Mulan

No struggle lasts forever. When we accept suffering and persevere, keeping faith, we will not only pull through - we will grow stronger, with a new appreciation of life.

3. "Today is a good day to try." - Quasimodo, Hunchback of Notre Dame

God grants us the opportunity for new beginnings with each new day. Each day is a gift. We're not perfect, but we can strive to make the most out of every day.

4. "Oh yes, the past can hurt. But the way I see it, you can either run from it or learn from it." - Rafiki, The Lion King

There's no undoing mistakes from the past. But, because of God's mercy, we can learn from our mistakes and grow as people of faith.

5. "You don't really need someone to complete you. You only need someone to accept you completely." - Rapunzel, Tangled

We are made for relationship with each other. However, it's important to know Whose are - finding our worth and love in God and keeping that as the foundation of any relationship. After all, a relationship is about being with someone who complements you, not someone who completes you. You are your own complete person.

6. "But in my heart's the memory, and there you'll always be." - Widow Tweed, Fox and the Hound

In life, people come and go. But what will never leave is the memories you have of that person.

7. "Where one thing falls, another grows. Maybe not what was there before, but something new and wonderful all the same." - Bambi's Mother, Bambi

Life has different seasons, things end. But with each ending is a new beginning that God has in store for us.

8. "If you keep on believing, the dream that you wish will come true." - Cinderella, Cinderella

Don't lose hope. Keep the faith. God knows what He's doing. He has an incredible plan for your life, better than anything you could ever imagine or dream of.

Everyone who is in college right now, or has ever been, knows the struggle of pulling in the strings at the last second. It seems impossible, and you have to do a LOT of things in order to assure your future for the next semester.

April Ludgate, historically, is a very annoyed person, and she doesn't hide it. Of all the times that I binged and re-binged "Parks and Rec," her attitude relates more and more to me.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.
