If you don't know where you're going, how will you get there?


I don’t know about you, but I am a total Dr. Seuss fan. One of my very favorites, as an adult, is Oh, The Places You’ll Go. I have read my copy so many times it’s frayed, frazzled, spilled upon, mulled over and ragedy, paggedy and jaggedy around the edges. In the immortal words of the brilliant Doctor…”You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose….And you know what you know. Kid, you’ll move mountains. Today is your day! Your mountain (life) is waiting. So…get on your way!”

And, you have so very many places to go. Even if it’s walking the dog around the block, going to the grocery, a lonely walk in the woods or jogging on the beach. But, if you don’t know where you’re going how will you get there? If you’re in a slump do you know how to become “un-slumped”? My new book – Getting There…From Here can assist in that un-slump process if you so choose to purchase a copy and get yourself off the shelf, out from under the bed, down from the tree, uncovering your head.

Another way to change into positive mode is to stop counting how many breaths you take each moment and become aware of how many moments take your breath away.

To celebrate Dr. Suess written by yours truly:

No matter who you are,
man, woman or child,
angry, sad, exuberant or mild
twenty something, forty,
sixty-two or ninety three
you have many things to see
you’re off to great places
with a whole lot more to do
your life is waiting just for you
whatever the matter, smile,
and breathe deeply into your day
it’s time to get out of your own way!
