...we all know the stories, in fact many of us can quote this famous man...he has taught not to eat green eggs and ham, he has taken us to the places we will go & yet he seems to have a plethora of advice no matter the topic...dr. seuss, is in fact a genius & no matter your age, you can always take what dr. seuss said and apply it to what is going on in your life...in fact you can even pass it along to make someone smile, or help solve a problem...
WHEN IN DOUBT think Seuss...
...so when things end too quickly --> “Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened.”
....or when you need to believe in yourself -->“Today you are You, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is Youer than You.”
...if you need to let go -->“If things start happening, don't worry, don't stew, just go right along and you'll start happening too.”
...to always remember to be proud of who you are -->“Be yourself because those who matter don't mind and those who mind don't matter.”
...never worry about where life is taking you --> “You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose. You're on your own. And you know what you know. And YOU are the one who'll decide where to go...”
...somebody loving you for you -->“We are all a little weird and life’s a little weird, and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall in mutual weirdness and call it love.”
...on knowing you will succeed -->“And will you succeed? Yes indeed, yes indeed! Ninety-eight and three-quarters percent guaranteed!”
...to remember its ok to be like a child -->“You're never too old, too wacky, too wild, to pick up a book and read to a child.”
...for being thankful -->“You ought to be thankful a hole heaping lot, for The places and people you're lucky you're not!”
...on learning --> “The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go.”
...living in the moment --> “Today was good. Today was fun. Tomorrow is another one.”

I love Dr. Suess, this one is one of my favorites: "I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, It's a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope. Which is what I do, And that enables you to laugh at life's realities."
