"Oh the Things You Can Find if You Don't Stay Behind!"

The Dr. Seuss Quote for today is, "Oh the things you can find if you don't stay behind!" I like this quote because it encourages us to find the things we care about and then to get out there and do what we can to lead and make a difference. I want to encourage you today to not let anything or anyone make you "stay behind" - you matter - this is the absolute truth - and you have so much to offer which will make our world a better place! Please take this to heart and then share this truth with those you love as well.

And, since today is the International Day of Happiness, it is the perfect day to find something wonderful which will help you be happy and then to get out there and spread happiness! You may be wondering, "what is the International Day of Happiness", well, Nationaltoday (dot) com has this to say about it - "A holiday called International Day of Happiness may sound a bit infantile to the uninitiated. Perhaps you’re imagining children singing ‘If you’re happy and you know it…’ or people gleefully dancing under a smiling sun and rainbows. While you’re not entirely wrong — who doesn’t like a good sing-song session — the truth is there’s much more to this delightful day than just smiles and good vibes."

They go on to say, "Everyone has their own definition of happiness, or things which make them happy, this is why there are no traditions set in stone for this day. Happiness is about feeling content and not having to fake your feelings, so whatever makes you happy, you do you! Being internally happy is key to being satisfied with your surroundings, so challenge yourself and be open to new people and experiences. Cherish the little things, and be grateful for everything in that moment."

We do not know what the future holds we do not know right now, but we are able to put one foot in front of the other, make plans for things which are most likely to help us have a secure future, and choose to move forward. Don't give up! When we do this, we will find we don't "stay behind", and we are able to find happiness!
