Chris Pratt Needs This Advice From Andy Dwyer

The hilarious, witty, ridiculously smoking hot Chris Pratt turns 36 years old on June 21, on the same day as Father's Day (perfect timing for a man with a kid)! The Jurassic World star has had a hell of a year, and he's bound to have a ton to celebrate, including the huge success of his latest movie. Seriously — has anyone ever had a better 12 months, ever?

As for my birthday and Father's Day gift to the actor who is on the top of his game right now, I've complied some of the best advice from perhaps his most beloved character, Parks and Rec's Andy Dwyer. That's right, while Chris Pratt may seem to have everything at the moment, there's always more to learn. And who better to learn it from than the guy who was constantly learning things on Parks and Recreation? Andy Dwyer may have been silly, but he was much wiser than we fans could possibly imagine. In his many hilarious moments on the show, he taught us to laugh, not take ourselves to seriously, appreciate everything life has to give and so, so much more.

These are just a few pieces of advice from Andy Dwyer that Chris Pratt should live by, but believe me, there are plenty. In fact, we could all probably learn a thing or two from Andy. Sometimes the best pieces of advice come from the most unlikely sources, like in Andy Dwyer's lesson from a from a can of lemonade. Really, Andy Dwyer is the life coach we all, including Chris Pratt himself, need from time to time. Below, some of his greatest lessons:

1. Appreciate Great Words Of Wisdom

Listen and learn.

2. Recognize Your Good Qualities (Not Too Much)

Andy has found the perfect balance of when to do this and when it's too much. We can only try to learn this from the master.

Sometimes life just isn't great. It's OK to acknowledge that.

Things are hard to do sometimes, guys. I feel Andy's pain.

But maybe use this one sparingly.
