Wisdom from Winnie the Pooh
Meaningful truths abound in childen’s books! And Winnie the Pooh and his friends are thought-provoking and inspiring!
Here’s some of my favorites!
On friendship~
On self-esteem~ “You are braver than you believe. Stronger than you seem. And smarter than you think.”
On caring~ “Some people care too much. I think it’s called love.”
On life~ “Life is a journey to be experienced, not a problem to be solved.”
On individuality~ “The things that make me different are the things that make me.”
On ever-lasting love~ “If you live to be a hundred, I want to live to be a hundred minus one day so I never have to live without you.”
On cooperation~ “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 the smallest of things~ “Sometimes the smallest things take up the most room in your heart.”
On being in the moment~
On listening~ “If the person you are talking to does not appear to be listening, be patient. It may simply be that he has a small piece of fluff in his ear.”
On doing what’s needed~ On beauty~
On getting where you want to go~ On the serendipity of life~
