Life Lessons From 'Winnie The Pooh'

Who knew a cuddly little bear could give the best advice on life, love, friendship and adventure? The story of "Winnie the Pooh" is a timeless children’s classic that has been treasured for years. A.A. Milne, the author of this book series, based these adorable characters off a real life bear, his son and his son’s stuffed animals. But through all of this, he created some of the most inspirational quotes of all time. "Winnie the Pooh" is actually very philosophical and gives some insightful words of wisdom. Pooh and his friends from the Hundred Acre Woods can be models for how we can live our own lives in order to achieve great happiness. Here is a look at 12 of the best life lessons from our friend, "Winnie the Pooh."

1. On Friendship

Friendship is one of the greatest things in the world and any day without a friend by your side is the worst day. Always hope to never have any of those days.

2. On Love

3. On Adventure

We come across certain people in our lives and as soon as we meet them we know a grand adventure is about to happen. Cherish and always remember to hold these people close.

4. On Priorities

I definitely think Winnie the Pooh has his priorities set straight.

5. On Acceptance

One of the most important lessons we can learn from Winnie the Pooh is that of acceptance. We should all be open to getting to know one another and open to accepting others for all their differences. We can truly be happier people once we do this.

6. On Remembering

Unfortunately, special people will come and go from our lives. However even when we lose someone we love, we can always remember that they will still be with us. The heart never forgets.

7. On Love Again

When you find "the one" you will know because deep within your soul you will feel it. Love is as simple as that.

8. On Goodbyes

I would give anything to go back in time and relive some of the most amazing memories I have with some very dear people. Goodbyes are literally the worst and I hope we can all go through life with as few goodbyes as possible.

9. On Self-Esteem

Never ever forget these words especially in your darkest of days.

10. On Selflessness

If you love them, you will set them free. True love means putting someone else's happiness before your own. This is sometimes the hardest thing in the world to do, but remember their is beauty to selflessness.

11. On Goodbyes Again

I feel so fortunate to have people in my life that make saying goodbye so hard. We should all feel so lucky that we have these people in our lives and we need to make sure we treasure every single moment we spend together.

12. On Life

All in all, Winnie the Pooh reminds us that life is a beautiful journey we all get to take. So many times we get caught up in the day to day struggles and we forget to stop and smell the roses. We should all make sure we take the time to really enjoy life. Make memories, find love, have friendships and enjoy the beautiful journey that is life.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
