Happy birthday to Theodor Seuss Geisel, who brought us 44 imaginative and inspirational children’s stories in his 87 years.

Some were written as Theo LeSieg, but of course the best-loved ones were penned under the name of Dr. Seuss.

Needless to say, thinking about his rhymes brings fond memories of childhood.

But many of them were valuable to adults as well.

For example, Barry brought my attention to this quote, appropriately from Seuss’s Happy Birthday to You! book, which reminds us all to embrace our uniqueness:

“Today you are true! That is truer than true! There is no one alive who is you-er than you!”

And what about the graduation classic, Oh, The Places You’ll Go!…

I love a good bubble bath (what girl doesn’t?), and I’m planning on having a nice long one tonight.

I do it weekly if possible, and it’s great for relaxing and resetting. It’s also a perfect excuse to catch up on disposable reading material (I mean magazines) that don’t take too much brain power, but enhance the enjoyment of bath time.

If you’d like to make your next soak in the tub extra special, try this homemade bubble bath recipe I found in one of those very magazines:

4 cups distilled water

4 oz. liquid lavender castile soap

4 oz. vegetable glycerin

10 drops essential oil

Mix the water and soap, then add the glycerin and essential oil. Pour it in a bottle, and add up to 1 cup to your bath water.

Don’t forget to add the Epsom salts, which draw toxins from your body.

A few days ago, I posted an article on the LWL Worldwide blog about overcoming fears using hypnosis recordings from Hypnosis Downloads.

That article focused on fears because we all have them, and they hold us back greatly in life. You can read my entire article on the LWL Worldwide blog here, which includes links to some common (and uncommon) fears that may plague you.

But there are also audios available for personal growth, reaching your goals, boosting creativity, overcoming procrastination and perfectionism, remembering names, and almost any other habit-busting or habit-forming need you can think of.

Then of course there are health-related downloads like reducing stress, curing insomnia, eating more vegetables, drinking more water, controlling food cravings for diabetics, easing eczema, and more.

And if you’re going through financial hardship these days (who isn’t, right?) you might find some help from extended programs like the Millionaire Mind pack or the Money Maximizer bundle.

In fact, with over 700 audios available, there’s a very, very slim chance that you can’t find one to help you out.

Self hypnosis might sound too good to be true, especially at these prices. But the truth is, the audios are very professionally made and highly effective — as long as you can open your mind to the possibilities, and allow yourself to go into trance state (like daydreaming, but as you listen to a soothing voice giving you suggestions).

It’s not a magic pill, though… you can’t just listen once and be done with it. You’ll be advised to listen to the same audio for a series of days, in order to really allow it to take affect and help you make permanent changes.

But the experience is relaxing and revitalizing, while working on whatever you want to overcome, so you can benefit on multiple levels.

It’s easy to complain about life instead of choosing to make it better.

But no matter how bad things can seem for you — bad times, bad economy, bad weather, bad kids or whatever — I’ll bet it’s amazing compared to what others are going through.

It’s all in the perspective.

For example, a devastating earthquake has just rocked the northeast coast of Japan, with a magnitude of 8.9. That’s the fifth strongest quake in the world since 1900, according to the U.S. Geological Survey’s Earthquake Information Center.

You can see some photos of the destruction here.

With hundreds dead, buildings collapsed, cars smashed and boats swept off by tsunami waves, chances are the people of Japan are going through harder times than you right now… and as our Wealth Vault members heard this morning, I and the entire LWL team send our sincere condolences and genuine thoughts of strength.

As for you…

Happiness is a choice, and that fact is highlighted in a somewhat silly but powerful way in Bobby McFerrin’s old hit, Don’t Worry, Be Happy.

Bobby turns 61 today, and to celebrate his birthday, I encourage you to watch the video, and think about how you can apply the message to your life:

Today is St. Patrick’s Day, a day typically associated with “luck”.

Of course, luck is more of a mindset than anything. If you feel lucky, you are lucky.

Some say LUCK stands for “Laboring Under Correct Knowledge.” Some say it’s based on the energy vibration you hold.

But what’s the significance of the “lucky” four-leaf clover? It’s rare to find one in nature, which makes it lucky in its uniqueness.

But the four leaves are said to represent four desirable qualities:

1. Hope

2. Faith

3. Love

4. Happiness

Conversely, we could say they represent the four parts of us: Body, Spirit, Mind and Emotions (thanks to Bob Hoffman for mapping out this Quadrinity).

Either way, it’s a symbol that can provoke thoughtfulness, wholeness, betterment and joyful contemplation.

And it’s entirely found within yourself. That, to me, is lucky in itself.

One thing I’m noticing more and more on social networks like Facebook is the tendency it has to turn rational, intelligent adults into gushing, fawning groupies.

And I’m not just talking about how being contacted with a friend request from an old high school crush can cause many people to dredge up those awkward old feelings, as pointed out in a blog post by Kristen Nicole more than 18 months ago.

“In part due to the fact that anyone could join, and in part due to the fact that Facebook really is a good way to reconnect with and stay connected to friends, Facebook has become the dominant social network of the times. But does Facebook just make us all act like silly teenagers?” she asks.

No, what I’m seeing is a tendency for people to post comments on the profiles and pages of relatively well-known professionals (think authors, speakers, marketers, bloggers, and others who have some sort of online presence) in a way that makes the commenter seem almost brainless…

I just posted a video on the LWL blog that inspired me on multiple levels, and I’m sure it will do the same for you.

Thanks to Mari Smith for providing a new high-tech resource you can use, for free, to bring your business card or resource into the smartphone age.

It’s called uQR.me, and it makes a QR (Quick Response) code that can be scanned by any smartphone. It then takes the user to any link or document of your choice, and you can change it any time.

Kinda like your own personal bar code.

You can test mine out below by holding your smartphone up to the image:

Cool, huh?

We all find ourselves in situations where we say the wrong thing.

It could be to your co-worker, your friend, or somebody in your family…

But the worst thing is when it’s with your spouse or partner.

Did you know that most couples don’t know the mistakes they’re making when they communicate?

And of those who do know, most don’t know how to say the right thing… they just know when they’re saying the wrong thing?

I just posted an article on the LWL Worldwide blog that talks about exactly that, with a quality resource that has been really valuable to me — and can hopefully help you out, too.
