5 Important Life Lessons Learnt from Game of Thrones

Game of Thrones, one of the most popular and beloved tv shows has finally and tragically come to an end.

After 8 years of bloody battles and bloody weddings, we think it’s time to reflect on the most important life lessons learnt throughout the series – unless you’re a book reader, then you’ve more to look forward to. 😉

SPOILER WARNING FOR SEASONS 1-8!

Never Assume you know Everything

“You know nothing Jon Snow” might have become one of the most prolific memes circulating the internet but it’s more than just a catchy phrase.

The world is vast and full of different cultures and perspectives with so much knowledge waiting to be absorbed, you should always be open to learning and listening to others no matter their age, race or culture.

Always be Prepared

Whether it’s a pitch, a presentation or a looming hoard of ravenous zombies coming at you, it is always good to remind yourself that “Winter is Coming.”

Having a plan and outlining the following steps is one of the best ways to ensure success in any major achievements or accomplishments you’ve set your eye on.

Change is for the Best

Tradition exists for a reason, but you shouldn’t be too terrified to break away from it. Sometimes you need to “break the wheel” like Daenerys Targaryen and change the status quo.

Being open to change can be the catalyst to discover new solutions, the spark to think outside of the box and to find new ways to solve old problems.

Surround Yourself with People who Support You

Having friends and colleagues who love, understand you and encourage your goals is one of the best ways to succeed in life and progress further in your career.

They are always there to give good advice when you need it and discourage decisions that might be too out of control or detrimental. Be like Daenerys Targaryen and choose “an advisor that would check her worst impulses”.

Resilience is Key

Even if you learn all you can, plan ahead, embrace change and are supported by your friends like the previous four lessons, sometimes things just don’t work out like they should. You may fail or feel defeated, but you should never give up. Being able to bounce back and keep moving forward is one the most life important experiences you can learn. Like Arya Stark said to that negativity “Not today”.
