Lessons from Kung Fu Panda

Another day=another movie watched. Today, it was Kung Fu Panda. Even though it is an animated created for kids, there were definitely some nuggets of adult wisdom imparted. These two scenes spoke to me especially:

1. People, places and things only have the meaning we give it.
2. There are no accidents.
3. Things are repeated for a reason.
4. Fulfilling one's destiny requires relinquishing the illusion of control.
5. We cannot force an entity to be something that it is not.
6. We need to think outside the box to determine how our "problems" will be solved.
7. We must believe we have or will have what is necessary to solve our "problems."

8. There is more than one way to accomplish the same task.
9. One often finds his destiny on the road he takes to avoid it.
10. A settled mind leads to a clear answer.
