Cartoon Philosophy

What is your favorite cartoon philosophy?

I'm talking about those deep insightful tidbits hidden inside kiddie cartoons, past or present.

One of my favorites is from Winnie the Pooh: "Piglet, why are you running nowhere so fast?"

I try to face the day like SpongeBob "I'm ready! I'm ready" even though I'm usually thinking "I hate getting out of bed, at all, ever, for anything!"

Samurai Jack teaches determination in the face of overwhelming odds (hmmm, sounds familiar).

Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends teaches that good-hearted, zany fun, and laughter will make most anything better.

and g.i.joe taught that good guys only fire blue lasers, and the bad guys only fire red lasers; also: no one ever gets hurt during skirmishes involving giant tanks, missles, fighter jets, or any of that other good stuff.

This one's easy.

"Hakuna Matata " It means no worries, for the rest of your days.

I could sing the whole damn song... and I do from time to time.

I love Bob the Builder's confidence: "Can we build it? Yes we can!"

Just substitute whatever you want for "build" for an upbeat rah-rah when needed.

Another good Lion King quote... Rafiki " It doesn't matter, it's in the past. "

I think we all need a good whap in the head from time to time. Look towards our future and stop worrying so much about all of the mistakes we've made, (to an extent).

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
