Young adults often find themselves at crossroads faced with numerous important decisions. From choosing the right career path to finding the right partner or even deciding where to live, the decisions can seem overwhelming. However, few young adults realize the importance of maturity in decision-making. In particular, young adults can learn a lot from Disney characters about finding their inner Merida and making mature decisions.
Merida, the strong and independent princess in Disney’s Brave, is the perfect role model for young adults. Her story teaches us the importance of being mature in decision-making. Merida learns about the consequences of acting impulsively and the importance of making mature decisions. In the movie, Merida is torn between her desire for freedom and her duties to her family. She makes poor decisions out of impulsiveness but eventually learns the importance of maturity in decision-making.
The character of Elsa from Frozen is another great example of the importance of maturity in decision-making. Elsa learns the dangers of acting impulsively and making decisions based on emotions. In Frozen, Elsa’s fear and anger lead to a terrible snowstorm that damages her kingdom. However, by accepting her responsibilities, she learns to control her emotions and make mature decisions.
“I agree,” said Simba, the lion king, who had joined the conversation. “Maturity is such an important trait to develop. As a young lion, I made reckless decisions, but I eventually learned that decision-making requires maturity. If it wasn’t for the guidance of Rafiki, I may have never achieved my full potential.”
The conversation in the Disney realm had become interesting as other characters joined in. Hercules added that he had also learned about the importance of maturity. “I was young and impulsive when I first became a hero. But as I grew, I learned that my actions had consequences. The decisions I made could affect others, and it was important to think things through before making any hasty decisions.”
Peter Pan, a never-growing boy, had an opposing view. “Being mature means growing up, and I don’t want to grow up. I like being able to make decisions without worrying about the consequences.”
Mulan, who had been listening intently, had a different perspective. “Growing up doesn’t mean you have to lose your sense of adventure or excitement. It just means you make mature decisions and take responsibility for your actions. You can still be brave and take risks, but you have to be aware of the consequences and be willing to accept them.”
As the conversation continued, it became clear that being mature in decision-making was essential. Whether it’s seeking advice from parents or taking time to think through a problem, making mature decisions is crucial. Young adults need to learn how to assess the risks, weigh the benefits, and make informed decisions that are in their best interest.
The importance of making mature decisions is emphasized even further in Disney’s Moana. Moana learns the importance of listening to her intuition, considering advice from her elders, and taking responsibility for her decisions. From her journey, young adults learn that it’s okay to ask for help and to seek guidance from their elders.
At the end of the conversation, there was a general agreement that young adults must learn to find their inner Merida. They must be willing to accept responsibility for their actions and make informed decisions. There may be times when they will make mistakes, but those moments provide an opportunity to learn and develop further.
In conclusion, learning how to find one’s inner Merida and making mature decisions is an essential part of growing up. Disney characters offer a powerful message that resonates with young adults. It is important to remember that mistakes will happen, but they should be viewed as an opportunity to learn and grow. Ultimately, being mature and taking responsibility for one’s actions will lead to a happier and more fulfilled life.
Young adults must learn to find their inner Merida and embrace maturity in decision-making. Disney characters such as Merida and Elsa provide lessons on accepting responsibility, controlling emotions, and seeking guidance from elders to make informed decisions. Making mistakes is inevitable, but it’s an opportunity to learn and grow.
“Growing up is never easy. You hold onto things that were. You wonder what’s to come. But that night, I think we knew it was time to let go of what had been, and look ahead to what would be. Other days. New days. Days to come. The thing is, we didn’t have to hate each other for getting older. We just had to forgive ourselves… for growing up.” – The character David in the Disney movie “The Wonder Years” (not a Disney character, but the quote fits the theme of the article)
