Lessons from Mary Poppins

We all know she is practically perfect in every way. I love Disney's Mary Poppins, and here's lessons learned from her.

1) "In every job that must be done, there is an element of fun. . . "

Find that fun and "snap" the job's a game!







2) Don't be a afraid to say something.

Even when you don't know what to say, be brave and say something. (Even if it's "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.")






3) Always have a silly friend.

We all need someone to make us laugh and come up with silly stunts. We all need a Bert in our lives.




4) "A spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down."

Bad things are going to happen. Look for the good and it makes swallowing the "bad medicine" so much easier.




5) New worlds are hidden in plain sight all around you.

Open your eyes. Begin to notice things you may have been overlooking. You never know what you will find.









6) Be thoughtful when deciding how to use your resources.

Your time, money, and energy are limited. Consider where best to spend them. Aim to make a difference in someone's life.



7) Your family is most important.
