7 Life Lessons To Learn From Robin Williams

How 1 man impacted the world.

Robin Williams is one of my favorite comedians, even after he descended from this world. To me, it still feels like he’s alive. He’s alive in everyone’s hearts, even if they haven’t met him in real life. We grew up with his movies.

It blows my mind how 1 man can come up with a joke using his imaginations. Talking about a REAL talent right there. That’s what he’s known for. People can command him to come up with a joke about a car and he’ll make a hilarious joke in 30 seconds that make everyone cry hysterically. I don’t know many who can do that today.

He was amazingly talented in his creative comedy. No one can beat him on his level. He was amazingly unique in what he did. Not only was he a great comedian, but he also taught people important life lessons throughout his life.

These are just some of the life lessons you can learn from the man himself.

1. Laughter is the best medicine.

The movie “Patch Adams” has a beautiful message behind it. He plays a doctor who makes sick patients laugh every day. Wouldn’t the world be more beautiful if all the doctors made their patients laugh with great humor?

Laugh in tough times. Turn on the lights in your darkest days, because no one else will turn them on for you. Your body loves to laugh. Laugh heals everything. Be your own kind of doctor and laugh. Enjoy yourself. Life suddenly has a meaning when you laugh every day.

2. It’s OK to be different.

Robin Williams was no ordinary person you meet on the streets. He was different. It made him unique and stand out. He was “weird” and not normal like everyone else. It’s his weirdness that made him a memorable person.

Don’t be afraid to be different. Don’t be afraid to view the world in a different way. Different people make the world more colorful with their uniqueness. There is no one like you and that’s what makes people remember you. People will remember you for being different. For not being like anyone else.

For being unique.

3. Life is too short to worry.

The movie: “Jack” is an amazing movie. I watched it a few times. In the ending scene, he makes a speech and says “Please don’t worry so much. Because in the end, none of us have very long on this Earth. Life is fleeting. “

Time flies in an instant. We think we’re immortal on this Earth. It’s false. Tomorrow is never promised, so stop worrying about fantasies that don’t exist in your reality. Stop giving attention to scary false imaginations. You’re not meant to live your whole life in constant worry and fear. You stress your body out for no reason. Become in a meditative state of mind. You’ll never live your life if you’re always worried. You’ve only been gifted 1 life. Use it wisely.

4. Have a spectacular life.

Another good line from the movie: “Jack.” at the ending scene.

You’re responsible for your own life. If your life has no meaning right now, then make your life more meaningful instead of being in a constant victim-mode. Being in a victim-mode won’t improve the quality of your life. You’ll just be in the same miserable state wondering why your life hasn’t changed. I know you had a tragic past, but you must move forward because you’re only getting mentally stronger, not weaker.

Get up. Dust yourself off. You’ll fail in life but you got to stand up again.

Say “To hell with others. will make my life great, no matter what.”

5. Don’t be afraid to speak your mind.

Robin talks about how words and ideas can change the world in the movie: “Dead Poets Society.”

People will shut you off and interrupt you. People will stop you from talking. They will try to control what you say. They’ll ridicule you about how no one’s gonna listen to you. Truth is they’re threatened by your wisdom. People are scared to be authentic these days. Stay authentic and speak your mind. Let it come from your heart. Say what feels right. Defend yourself when you’re being disrespected. Share your wisdom with other people. You don’t need to help everyone as 1 human. But you can help one person’s entire world, which is enough. People will remember you for your kind words and wisdom.

You’ll never know how you’ll change someone’s life from the other side of the world. I did. My friend was in a toxic environment and I encouraged her for a few years to stay active in her school and work. Today she got out of the toxic environment and has her own place to live. She said she wouldn’t do it without my support.

6. Don’t blame yourself.

“It’s not your fault.” he told Will repeatedly in the “Good Will Hunting” movie. He kept telling Will it’s not his fault for the abuse he suffered. Will fought against it by building a wall and “mans up”. Robin (Sean) kept telling Will it’s not his fault until the walls collapsed and Will started crying out his pain after all those years and got a hug from Robin (Sean)

Don’t blame yourself for the abuse in the past. Blaming yourself constantly will hurt you more than good. You’re punishing yourself for never being good enough. You keep finding flaws in you. Instead, you have to accept the person you’re today. Forgive yourself for happened in the past, whether you caused it or someone else caused it. Don’t blame yourself. Learn from it. Learn that it’s not your fault. Learn valuable lessons from your failures. You made a mess in the past but you can’t keep punishing yourself from something you did 5 years ago. Move forward.

You did your best. You’re good enough, even if your abuser said you aren’t good enough. Abusers aren’t good enough for this world. Amazing people like you are good enough for this world, we need more like you.

7. There is a tragedy behind a happy mask.

You will always meet a great person with a tragic past. They have the biggest smile in the world but a tragic childhood. Their energy lights up the whole room, but they’ve been tortured for years and crushed by people they trusted. I think there is a great link between comedians and depression, like with Robin Williams.

“I think the saddest people always try their hardest to make people happy because they know what it’s like to feel absolutely worthless and they don’t want anyone else to feel like that.” — Robin Williams.

Please, think extra when you meet a person who’s always in a good mood. They barely have anyone ask them “How are you feeling? Are you doing okay?” because people assume they’re doing okay as they’re in always good mood.

It’s not always the case.

RIP Robin Williams.

You’ll always be missed!
