The Remarkable Dr. Seuss
“Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don‘t matter and those who matter don‘t mind.” Dr. Seuss.
You gotta love Dr. Seuss. I find wisdom in everything I‘ve read by Dr. Seuss both as a child (little snippets and wise affirmations stored in my memory) and as an adult.
For those of you who have done CTI‘s coaching curriculum, you‘ll recall that we often use “Oh The Places You‘ll Go” by Dr Seuss to emphasize certain principles. I do love that a Dr. Seuss book is one of the key texts in our coaching curriculum. For me it demonstrates our belief that learning should be fun and interesting as well as deep and profound.
Here at CTI, we‘ve built a whole body of work around the idea of being who you are and saying what you feel. As I travel about, I find that people everywhere are so longing for that, so hungry for something that is authentic and real.
So many of us have been “domesticated” and taught to look outside ourselves for validations, for what is “appropriate” to be, do and say. It‘s quite a radical act of courage to reclaim the truth of our own hearts and to be who we are and say what we feel.
I appreciate the gentle reminder that those who matter to me will have room for my authentic self and indeed will likely celebrate it. And those who don‘t have room for me actually don‘t matter all that much to me anyway.
Thank you Dr. Seuss.
