The best advice is often right on your television screen.
By Emily Ratay — Written on Oct 21, 2016
We all have someone we look up to. Whether that is a family member or a friend, this person is always our go-to role model when we need advice.
As we grow up, and much after the growing up stops, our role models change. Sometimes, we see something in a former role model that doesn't sit well with us and we lose them, or maybe we just add another one of our heroes to our lists of people to go to when we need help.
But what about the advice that these people can't give us? Surely, there is a way to find the right advice when we most need it, even when we can't go to a person.
And there is a way.
As you grew up, there were probably movies that stuck with you. We all like movies for different reasons, but you can't deny that there is usually something that brings all walks of life to these same films: their messages.
Some of the greatest movies of all time have messages that stick with us for years to come.
Sometimes, we don't realize the impact these movies have on us while other times, it's so obvious that we are the way we are because of these films.
Not only do movies like Good Will Hunting, Shawshank Redemption, and yes, even Finding Nemo have such timeless advice on life and love, but they all give us different outlooks on the same subjects.
So, not only can you learn some great advice on how to handle life and love, but you can also get more than one viewpoint on these subjects. And having these types of role models and just as important as the people you look up to in life because they never leave and their advice never changes, making them permanent fixtures in your life (especially when you need them most).
