Life according to Dr. Seuss

I love the Cat in the Hat with a big thanks to Dr. Seuss! So why do most people spend most of their life trying to be someone they’re not? What’s wrong with who you see in the mirror each morning?

Today you are You, that truer than true, there is no one alive who is Youer than You!

I know it’s so easy to want to be someone you’re not.  So, why not discover sooner than soon who you are meant to be!

Why fit in when you were born to stand out?

Why not become a trail blazer or the one who purposely chooses the road less traveled? Why settle for the norm or status quo? How boring, dull and deadly!

You have brains in your head. Feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction You choose.

Stop staring at those around you that define success by the numbers and realize the latent potential you have to make your life rock and impact the world around you! You don’t need anything else to make a difference in the your life and your friends.

Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind.

I will be the first to admit that I’ve spent too much of my life trying to please someone else only to discover that they don’t care after all! So, discover who you are by doing what you love and enjoying life instead of wanting approval from anyone.

Today I shall behave, as if this is the day I will be remembered!

I can remember my freshman English Class writing a letter to myself that the teacher promised to mail to us in ten years. I was totally shocked, taken back to receive this strangely addressed letter to myself. I laughed because in one sense I had become so different from the person that wrote the letter, yet I was still in essence the same person. Yes, I was married, a college grad and a new dad but still had the same heart that was figuring out life’s awesome gift.

I’m so thankful for the 5 Lessons in Life by Dr. Seuss! I hope you’re able to laugh at yourself and then do something that is Youer than You and forget what those from the sidelines of life happen to say.
