Friends also starred Jennifer Anniston, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, David Schwimmer and Courteney Cox as Rachel, Phoebe, Joey, Ross and Monica respectively. From Chandler Bing’s iconic proposal to Monica to his friendship with Joey, Chandler Bing is one of the incredible parts of the Friends sitcom. Here are some beautiful life lessons from Chandler Bing that we can never forget.
Embrace Your Identity
Chandler Bing is the wittiest yet funniest character of Friends. The irresistible humour and jokes of Chandler held deep insecurities and awkwardness within them. Chandler Bing had a unique personality and was never afraid to be who he was. The biggest life lesson we learn from Chandler Bing is to embrace one’s identity and accept yourself as you are.
Personal Growth
From the ten seasons of Friends, each season showed Chandler Bing as an evolved person. From being shy and embarrassed of his own personality to accepting his flaws and being confident about himself, Chandler Bing was a living example of positive personal growth. In the beginning seasons of Friends, Chandler Bing was a character who was afraid of commitments, but as the season progressed, Chandler Bing became a mature person ready for commitment, marriage and kids.

Never Be Afraid To Take Risks
Chandler Bing was never afraid to take risks. He quit his job to move in with Monica and began as an intern in an advertising company, something that he loved to do. This teaches us that we should never be scared to embrace our passions and move towards them.
Importance Of Friends
Friends are our second family. Chandler Bing, Joey, Ross, Monica, Rachel and Phoebe shared the truest and purest dynamic of friendship and always stood by each other. Chandler always rooted for each of his friends and helped them get through their tough times with his humorous and sarcastic jokes.
Communication Is Important
Monica and Chandler’s relationship in Friends made us learn how important communication is in partnerships. They shared a meaningful relationship which helped Chandler to be open and vulnerable with Monica. Even in his friendships, Chandler never turned his back on having difficult conversations.
Instead of thinking about how Matthew Perry passed away alone, let’s think of it like this scene, with Chandler Bing’s iconic last line of Friends.
