Doctor's Orders



The doctor* is in.

"Rarely have wiser words been spoken.
Read these, embrace them as my goodwill token" 
- S.





1. Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind.


2. You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose. You're on your own. And you know what you know. And YOU are the one who'll decide where to go. With your head full of brains and your shoes full of feet, you're too smart to go down any not-so-good street.


3. Sometimes the questions are complicated and the answers are simple.


4. We are all a little weird and life's a little weird, and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall in mutual weirdness and call it love.


5. If things start happening, don't worry, don't stew, just go right along and you'll start happening too.


6. Be sure when you step, Step with care and great tact. And remember that life's A Great Balancing Act. 


7. Only you can control your future. 


8. If you want to catch beasts you don't see every day, you have to go places quite out of the way. You have to go places no others can get to. You have to get cold and you have too get wet, too.


9. Today you are You, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is Youer than You.

How to be happy(er)








1. Spend a few minutes every morning stretching.
2. Sleep with the curtains open, and let the sun’s energy help wake you up.
3. Accept that change is inevitable. When it hits you, dwell on it for a few moments, and then move on.
4. Pseudo-science: Get yourself a healing crystal. The science may be bogus, but the placebo effect may do you wonders. Really, you’ve got nothing to lose.
5. Actual-science: Hug or be hugged four times a day – research has shown that this will help you look younger and live longer.
6. You can’t make everyone happy, so if you have to pick one person to make happy, choose yourself.
7. Micromanage problems, not people.
8. When you smile, your brain assumes you’re happy. Smile often enough, and pretty soon, you will find that you are.  
9. “You are a free person.  Exercise your freedom.” – P.C.
