Life Lessons from Disney’s Leading Ladies
Some are princesses, and some are inspiring dynamic main characters – but we can all agree that Disney’s famous female leads have some inspirational and encouraging insight to offer us all.
Read on for my favorite life lessons from Disney’s leading ladies!
Belle
Who doesn’t love Belle and her adoration of fine books and beautiful libraries? As a kind-hearted girl who loves to read, she doesn’t have many friends and struggles with being different. However, she remains true to who she is!
One of Belle’s finest life lessons is to never judge a book by its cover. Her ability to look past the Beast’s exterior allowed her to see the good inside of him.
Moana
Loving and strong-willed – Moana has moments like so many of us in life with self-doubt and questioning our abilities. However, Moana has a strong sense of self and stands up for who she is and her values.
She is brave and resilient, especially when she continues to confront Te Ka to complete her assigned task from the ocean. She reminds us to be brave and face our fears!
Tiana
This beautiful princess appears in the Disney animated classic, The Princess and the Frog, and is not your typical “damsel in distress.” Tianna knows that hard work and a little courage can help you achieve anything!
She relies on herself to achieve her dreams and isn’t waiting to be saved! Tiana reminds us to be ourselves, and that hard work and an action plan can help us reach our goals.
Mulan
Mulan encompasses courage, passion, and determination! She defies tradition and becomes a legendary warrior.
Sometimes it is hard to break away from the norms. But, Mulan teaches us that it is OK to speak your mind and to 100% believe in yourself and your dreams.
Rapunzel
Spirited, determined, and curious-so many of us can relate to Rapunzel. Though she spends her early life locked away in a tower, she is not afraid to venture past those walls to experience new friendships and life.
So do not be afraid to push yourself and leave your comfort zone! Rapunzel reminds us that you never know who you will meet or what you will discover!
Elsa
Beautiful, magical, and larger than life- Elsa steps into the role of a powerful and compassionate queen and leader. Like so many of us, Elsa wonders why she was born with specific powers and talents and determines the best way to use those.
She also hides her powers and feelings throughout the movies! Elsa reminds us that it is OK to be who you are and express yourself! Have a confidant (like sister, Anna) to help you through those challenging times!
So many great characters and amazing lessons! Who are your favorites and what other life lessons from Disney’s leading ladies do you love?
