Last week, I and my older brother decided to watch How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World for a sort of like a post 26th birthday celebration for me. I was really excited because How to Train Your Dragon is one of my favorite animated movie series, and I also think dragons are cool (who doesn't think that those flying, fire-breathing mythical creatures are awesome?!). Besides the entertaining part of the story, there was one life lesson I learned in the movie and I want to share it.
WARNING: Spoilers ahead for those who haven't watched the movie, I suggest you watch it first or make sure that you're ok with me spoiling you.
So the story in this movie continues from the second one, where the people from Berk are living happily with the dragons, and at the same time catching the dragon killers. Eventually, Berk gets overpopulated especially since they brought home so many dragons over the years, making them an easy target for enemies, so they were forced to migrate to another location. Hiccup remembered a legend that his father told him about the hidden world, where the dragons can live amongst themselves. Many things happened and eventually, the people of Berk were happy with their new location, but they had to let go of all the dragons so that they can be safe in the hidden world.
You might be asking: Is there actually a lesson in this movie for real life? Yes, there is! If you just use a little bit of thinking, you will notice the lesson. It's that everything in this life has an end, you eventually have to let go. Hiccup and the people from Berk loved their dragons. From the ending of the first movie, all the way to this movie, they were with their dragons and enjoyed every second of it. This is until the part where they realized that the dragons are in danger, and there is a world where the dragons can be safe, but they will have to let go of them. This can be applied in real life too. No matter how much you are enjoying your life or whatever is happening in your life, there will be some big changes that will happen, let go of the past and let go of whatever is holding you from enjoying the present and focusing on the future. Let go of your glory days in high school, it's over. Let go of that job you loved/hated, you will get a new one. Let go of that previous relationship, he/she is not part of your life anymore (unless you stayed friends that is). Let go of that grudge you had with someone you didn't get along with or fought with, no matter the reason for your grudge, it's not important anymore.
The sooner you can let go of the things in life that are no longer serving you, the better your life will be.
