As my daughter and I were watching Kung Fu Panda today for the 475th, 476th, & 477th times… well she was watching (like any 3 1/2 year old, meaning watch for 30 seconds and then do something else, then come back to it) and I was working on the laptop, I had to pause as I once again realized just how much wisdom is actually in that movie. Sure it’s a fun movie, witty, and with the traditional good-vs-evil storyline, but it also has some serious and useful wisdom thrown in:
To make something special you just have to believe it’s special. – Mr. Ping
One often meets his destiny on the road he takes to avoid it. – Master Oogway
You Must Believe. – Master Oogway
Yesterday is a memory, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift. That’s why it’s called the present. – Master Oogway
And those are just the most obvious ones, and if you are one of my Twitter followers, you probably saw me Tweet them today.
So maybe, just maybe, she may get something out of this movie after all, like I have.
Let’s hope so.
She’s watched it enough.
