Star Wars Day - 10 amazing life lessons we learnt from Star Wars

To any normal person, loving Star Wars simply means the fondness for a sci-fi trilog. But for its loyal followers, it’s so much more than that. 

Star Wars is probably the first sci-fi franchise that many youngsters my age would have watched. It was gripping and so different from all the other films. From Leia being a unique kind of Princess (she was a political and military leader) to laser swords, telekinesis and JEDI and battles in space. All of it was just so cool. 

Apart from being a thrilling, adventurous watch, Star Wars has also taught us some important life lessons. Today, on Star Wars Day, let's go over these and remind ourselves once again... 

1. Don’t centre on your anxieties. Keep your concentration here and now, where it belongs.

2. The past and the future are equally important, but not at the cost of the moment. 

3. Your focus determines your reality.

4. Fear is the path to the dark side. 

5. Attachment is forbidden. Possession is forbidden. 

6. There's no such thing as luck.

7. Your eyes can deceive you. Don't trust them. 

8. Believing is succeeding. 

9. You must learn control. 

10. Many of the truths we cling to depend greatly on our point of view.

Many factors make Star Wars universe so special. One of which are the life lessons learned by each character throughout their journey. However, what makes these learnings so special is that we, as true fans, get to go on the journey and learn with our favourite sci-fi characters. It’s just one of the many ways we become immersed in this beloved universe. 

Until then, may the Force be with you!
