Life Lessons from Winnie the Pooh

If you don’t already know this about me, I love Winnie the Pooh. I grew up on the silly-old-bear. Practically was raised in the hundred acre woods with Christopher Robin and all his friends. I’ve been thinking lately about how complicated life can seem sometimes. But for a Winnie the Pooh life was simple and life was pleasant. I think he was up to something… So I present to you proof Winnie the Pooh really has life all figured out.

With friends anything is possible
Being a good, loyal, and available friend is what Pooh and his gang are all about! Pooh is always available to help Eeyore find his tail, protect piglet from his fears, “help” Rabbit tend his garden (though Pooh always knows he is getting hunny in return, so sometimes his motives are flawed), he will always go on an adventure with Tigger, and will always be there to listen to Owl droll on about the impossibly boring history of his ancestry. 
Take time to think things through
Pooh has a thoughtful spot right outside his house. He sits on his log, and says “think, think, think” when he is trying to figure out a problem. He is in no rush to figure out the solution, he wants to process his thoughts first! We should all slow down, we should take a second and just think it through….
Spelling doesn’t have to be perfect

He doesn’t have the most grammatically correct vocabulary. I don’t believe he or anyone else in the Hundred Acre Woods could pass a 1^st grade spelling test if they tried. Which makes someone like me, who is not good at spelling, feel a lot better about myself! You can still lead a perfectly satisfactory life without knowing how to spell everything perfectly!
Seeking help is a good thing

When Pooh Bear needs help with something, or wants to accomplish a task, he immediately looks to his friends for help. He is not afraid to admit he doesn’t know how to do something, or to admit one of his friends might know better than he does. Especially his main pal Christopher Robin. Pooh often depends on him for guidance and advise. We should all take a page form Pooh’s book here to put away our pride, and admit sometimes we need help, that there might be someone who knows better than we do.
You always go home to your hunny ;)

Be it a pot of golden gooyness, or that special someone who you hold dear in your heart, it’s always the one that makes you the happiest to come home to. 

These things and many others prove that this silly-old-bear teaches you all the important things in life. Winnie the Pooh will always have a special place in my life, I will never stop learning the simple things in life from him!
