But really, this is advice for all of us. To celebrate Lindsay’s birthday, let’s reflect on the morals from her eclectic film career.
The Parent Trap: Don't try to be someone that you're not.
As tempting as it is to pretend to be someone else, it's a lot more important to be true to yourself. While Hallie and Annie enjoy their switched roles, they must return to their real lives. In the same way, Lindsay has to be Lindsay, and you have to be you — not whatever other people expect you to be.

Freaky Friday: Sometimes you need to be the kid and sometimes you need to be the parent.
It's tempting for young people to want to be more mature — and for older people to want to reclaim their youth. Sometimes, however, those roles are important. In real life, Lindsay might be too old for the moral here, but Dina Lohan could probably still learn a few things.

Mean Girls: Your true friends are the ones who stick by you no matter what.
It's easy to get caught up in silly things like popularity — you might surround yourself with phonies just because you feel like they up your social status. Just remember, when you hit those rough patches — and there may be a lot of them! — it's your real friends who will have your back.

Herbie: Fully Loaded: Don't let the haters hold you back.
People are always going to tell you that you're not good enough, because you've failed in the past and you're Lindsay Lohan. Screw them. Life is about overcoming obstacles and not letting the mistakes of your past define you. But do be careful of those sharp turns, and that especially goes for Lindsay.
