When you see someone putting on his Big Boots, you can be pretty sure that an Adventure is going

On love:
Promise me you’ll always remember: You’re braver than you believe, and
stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.
On the importance of the little things:
Sometimes, said Pooh, the smallest things take up the most room in your
heart.
On being present:
Sometimes, if you stand on the bottom rail of a bridge and lean over to watch
the river slipping slowly away beneath you, you will suddenly know everything
there is to be known.
On individuality:
The things that make me different are the things that make me.
On the difference between knowledge and understanding:
I was walking along looking for somebody, and then suddenly I wasn’t
anymore.
On self-sacrifice:
Love is taking a few steps backward maybe even more…to give way to the
happiness of the person you love.
On gratitude:
Piglet noticed that even though he had a very small heart, it could hold a
rather large amount of gratitude.
On comfort zones:
You can’t stay in your corner of the Forest waiting for others to come to you.
You have to go to them sometimes.
On not overthinking:
On unselfishness:
A little consideration, a little thought for others, makes all the difference.
Don’t underestimate the value of doing nothing, of just going along, listening to
all the things you can’t hear, and not bothering.
But it isn’t easy, said Pooh. Because poetry and hums aren’t things which you
get, they’re things which get you. And all you can do is to go where they can
find you.

Think left and think right and think low and think high.
Oh, the thinks you can think up if only you try!
(Oh, The Thinks You Can Think!)
The lesson: your imagination is a wondrous thing and you should use it
as often as you can. Don’t be afraid to think outside the box, because
the box only confines your mind to a limited space. Go beyond that and
think every which way you can.
The more that you read, the more things you will know.
The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go.
(I Can Read With My Eyes Shut!)
The lesson: one way to fuel your imagination is to read, read, and
then read some more. And those places you’ll go don’t have to be
physical, they can be metaphorical too. Always be learning new things
and you’ll never get bored.
So, on beyond Z!
It’s high time you were shown
That you really don’t know
All there is to be known.
(On Beyond Zebra!)
The lesson: what you know is just a drop in the vast ocean of knowns
and unknowns. This is a good thing because not only does it drive you
on to keep reading and learning, but you are forced to accept that some
things are beyond knowledge.
It’s not about what it is, it’s about what it can become.
(The Lorax)
The lesson: you are a seed of great potential and it is not about who
you are now or what you have, it is about what you can become if you
realize that potential.
And will you succeed? Yes! You will, indeed!
(98 and ¾ percent guaranteed)
(Oh, The Places You’ll Go!)
The lesson: if you put your mind to it, your success is almost
guaranteed. That goes for things both big and small, whatever your
personal definition of success may be.
You’ll miss the best things if you keep your eyes shut.
(I Can Read With My Eyes Shut!)
The lesson: you have to keep your eyes open or you’ll miss out on so
much of life; not only the beauty of the world around you, but the
opportunities that come your way from time to time.
So be sure when you step, step with care and great tact.
And remember that life’s A Great Balancing Act.
(Oh, The Places You’ll Go!)
The lesson: life is better when it is balanced and it’s your responsibility
to try and maintain that balance as best you can. This applies to
everything from how you manage your time to how you choose to deal
with other people.
They say I’m old-fashioned, and live in the past, but sometimes I think
progress progresses too fast!
(The Lorax)
The lesson: there are lots of benefits to slowing down and taking your
time. The modern world has given us so much, but progress does not
always provide the benefits we think. Learn to take a leaf from days
gone by.
If you never did, you should. These things are fun, and fun is good.
(One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish)
The lesson: this is a call to the close-minded to try new things, be open
to new possibilities, and find the fun in all the little things. If you ever
wonder whether you should, the answer is probably yes!
You are you. Now, isn’t that pleasant?
(Happy Birthday to You!)
The lesson: understand that you are far more than you think you are,
and that you are worthy of your own love and acceptance. Really, when
you strip everything else back, you are a decent, caring human being,
and that’s worth celebrating.
The lesson: good things have to come to an end – it’s just how life is.
Rather than commiserate your bad luck when things are over, celebrate
that you were able to enjoy it while it lasted.
