Oh the Places You’ll Go! Inspiration and Quotes from Dr. Seuss
We all loved his playful and eccentric characters and rhymes in books like “The Cat in the Hat” and “Oh, The Places You’ll Go!” when we were kids (and maybe saw some of the movies based on his books). Today, March 2, would mark the 108th birthday of beloved author and illustrator Theodor Seuss Geisel, better known as Dr. Seuss.
Below are some inspiring and fun Dr. Seuss quotes. Visit http://www.seussville.com to learn more about his story and for fun memories from some of your favorite Dr. Seuss books. It’s also “Read Across America” day, so be sure to curl up with a good book.
“So be sure when you step, Step with care and great tact. And remember that life’s A Great Balancing Act. And will you succeed? Yes! You will, indeed! (98 and ¾ percent guaranteed) Kid, you’ll move mountains.”
? Dr. Seuss, Oh, the Places You’ll Go!

When You See Her – Show Some Love
This February we launched the Show Some Love Project, to encourage you to reach out to those around you who may be hurting – your care and love and heal a heart and save a life…
You see her in the corner sitting quietly in the back of the classroom as everyone chatters away, she’s staring down at her books to pretend she’s occupied when really she just wants it to swallow her up; she just wants to disappear. Some might take her expressionless, tense face as a little snooty a little off-putting, but really she is scared. She tries not to draw attention but even when silent somehow she draws in mean girls like flies.
At lunch time she doesn’t want to face them, and their jeering so she heads to the empty stairwell to eat her sandwich, alone.
Sometimes she locks herself in a bathroom stall, her forehead against the cold wall, tears streaming down her face. She doesn’t dare look up at the scribbling on the painted brick for fear that her name could be scrawled there.
She might be shy, might be new, a little lost and awkward maybe but she definitely needs a friend. She might be at your school, in your class, on your bus ride home.
If you got to know her you’d find that she likes to laugh, loves that show you watch, you’d see there’s more to her then meets the eye. If you would only meet her eyes, smile and introduce yourself you might be surprised. If only…
But for now she sits alone. Her face may not say it but inside she’s longing for someone, someone to notice, wishing someone would take the time to see her, to really see her, say hi and show her some love.
How do I know? Because she was once me.
Show some love today – you never know what effect your words and kindness can have on someone who is hurting.

Inspiring ENT Music Pick: “Speak With Love” by Savannah Outen (An Original Song to Prevent Bullying)
Click here to check out more posts in the Dreamer ENT “Show Some Love Project” Series…
Savannah Outen wrote this inspiring song ‘Speak With Love’ last October for National Bullying Prevention Awareness month, to spread the message of love and ending bullying. I love how the lyrics tell a story that I’m sure so many can relate to:
“Speak With Love” Lyrics
Verse 1
He was such a nice boy
Always kept to himself
Never really had a choice
Felt like he lived on a shelf
The more that they picked on him
The more he knew it wasn’t a joke
Chorus:
I
Don’t know why
People treat others so, so cruel
I
Don’t know why
Anyone would want to live a fool…ish life
Verse 2:
She was such a sweet little girl
Always got made fun of
Never thought she had a place in this world
You see, everyone needs to realize that we’re all beautiful no matter what
Chorus:
And I
Don’t know why
Anyone could say something so cruel
Be a hero starting today
The world could be such a happier place
Promise that you’ll always speak with love

Inspiring ENT Pick: Are You Happy Now?: Megan and Liz Step Up to Bullying With Music
Bullying is such an important topic, and it breaks my heart to see recent reports of young people who have been hurt and affected by it – words can have a bigger impact than we know. I was also affected by bullying when I was younger and I feel for those who can relate, and appreciate Megan and Liz for their inspiring efforts! Stay tuned for more information about Dreamer ENT’s Show Some Love Anti-Bullying Campaign. – Julene, Editor of DreamerENT.com
Youtube singing sensations Megan and Liz are twin sisters who took their passion for music and decided to share it with the world. The girls began posting Youtube covers a few years ago and began catching the attention of others; they were even surprised on the Oprah Winfrey Show and able to meet one of their inspirations Taylor Swift.
Recently Megan and Liz wrote a song called “Are You Happy Now?” to address the topic of bullying and how words and negative actions affect people so deeply. They got fans to submit photos for the music video and the compilation is really inspiring, watch the official video above and the fan submission video below.
You can visit StepUptoBullying.org to find out how you can take a stand against bullying too. Have you ever dealt with bullying or have seen it in your own school?

Editor’s Corner – Jules’ Gems of Inspiration: Find Your Purpose & Shine
In the movie Akeelah and the Bee, Keke Palmer’s character Akeelah quoted Marianne Williamson in a scene when Akeelah was too scared to try to win the Scripps National Spelling Bee, giving some amazing words of inspiration:
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure…
“It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
It’s easy to get discouraged or distracted if you’re not sure where you’re going or don’t think you’re good enough to follow your dreams.
We tend to look at celebrities and those who are in the limelight as those who are significant in society, but in reality everyone on Earth was born with equal worth and the potential to do something amazing. The aim though is not to be amazing to merely impress or ‘be famous,’ but to enrich the lives of those around you.
People who change the world are just ordinary people who found their passion and purpose and put extra hard work to become extraordinary and to share their gifts with the world. When you give your all and try your best at what you’re passionate about over time you will get better and better, like Akeelah did in the movie.
Dreamer ENT features the stories of young people who are doing amazing things now, and not waiting until they are older to start following their passions. The important thing to remember is that we’re all unique, and there’s enough success for everyone. Everyone might not become a famous star in Hollywood but you can be a star in whatever area you’re passionate about – whether it be fashion, medicine or even directing movies. What you have to offer is unique and important, so if you keep it bottled up inside we all miss out. Dare to be different and shine, and maybe those around you will be inspired and do the same!
“We tend to look at celebs and those in the limelight as those who are significant in society, but in reality everyone was born with equal worth…
You have the potential to do something amazing to impact the world, no matter how young you are – go out and shine!” – Julene
