We all love our dads, and Phil Dunphy from Modern Family is #dadgoals. With his philsosophies, he has the best advice of them all. Whether you are looking for a little inspiration, or are just missing your dad, check out some of Phil’s best words of wisdom.

1. Speak your own truth, even if it’s nerve-wracking at times.

 

2. Keep hopes high and expectations low. Not focusing on expectations allows you to be more present and ready for whatever life throws your way.

 

3. Sometimes the hardest moments remind you of what matters to you and what is truly important. Stay strong.

4. Remember to remain calm under pressure, but sometimes you have to splurge every once in a while.

 

5. Surprise yourself and others. You can find a lot of happiness in the unexpected. 

 

6. So this one is from High School Musical, but nonetheless still true. 

 

7. Life’s a dance, and you have to keep moving.
