The CMC's alternate message?

[ggg-2 3,557]

I read somewhere that the CMC's main reason for existence in the show is to teach kids that patience is a virtue. But looking back at everything they tried to get their cutie marks, did they have an alternate message to teach kids to try new things at an age where they're hesitant to do so?

Perhaps... I wouldn't argue against such a concept, I mean, heck... I know that if I knew what I know now when I was like 7 - 12 years old (and even on through to older ages in my case), and instead of spending practically whole days just playing endless video games and rather actually explored my talents, other, more productive interests, and hobbies and the like, I'd definitely be in a bit of a better spot personally than I am currently, but that's of course why I guess I've been taught through all that as well that one great concept of it would be "better late than never" I suppose.

Those two are not mutually exclusive, in fact you could easily combine them into a single message like 'don't let life pass you by because you're waiting for something better to happen'.
