Sometimes I wonder why on earth people buy self help books. Or visit psychiatrists, for that matter. They’re both expensive and far from as helpful as they claim to be. Anyone who saw my extensive list of psychiatrists knows I pay a lot for that too and given the fact usually they don’t say a word it’s practically self help as well. I found myself looking for helpful and uplifting things lately -I need it dearly- and surprisingly enough I ended up with… Dr Seuss. Read and enjoy… it’s better than self-help books…
“Today you are you, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is youer than you”
“Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind”
“Don’t cry because it’s over. Smile because it happened.”
“I’ve heard there are troubles of more than one kind. Some come from ahead and some come from behind. But I’ve bought a big bat. I’m all ready you see. Now my troubles are going to have trouble with me!”
“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.”
“If you never did you should. These things are fun and fun is good”
“Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It’s not.”
“And will you succeed? Yes indeed, yes indeed! Ninety-eight and three-quarters percent guaranteed!”
“From there to here, and here to there, funny things are everywhere.”
“All alone!
Whether you like it or not,
alone is something you’ll
be quite a lot”
“I’m afraid sometimes
you’ll play lonely games too,
games you can’t win
because you’ll play against you”
“I’m sorry to say
so but, sadly it’s true
that bang-ups and hang-ups
can happen to you”
It is clear. I love Dr Seuss! I want him to be my psychiatrist! *giggle* And since I have this thing with interior design lately… here we have Quotation Wall Decals! http://www.etsy.com/shop/InitialYou
This is utterly wonderful, I need more Seuss in my life!
I think we all do from time to time…
Quality! This is my favourite…

mine too… I thought about buying one of the wall decals for my new room… so uplifting xD
You should.
I always like reading such things when I go into someone’s home or office.

Yeah, it gives out the right message to visitors…
