“Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery” -Charles Caleb Colton

We’ve all stolen an idea at some point, whether we meant to or not.
Actually, most ideas we’ve had have probably been thought of before.

Here’s an idea that I stole a couple of months ago from a friend because I was tired of taking life as it came my way instead of me deciding what I would get out of life.

I wake up earlier so I can lay a good foundation for my day. I used to sleep in ’til the last second and each day would just be a surprise. I didn’t do much planning and life just became a lot of luck. Maybe you’ve experienced life like this.

Some other things that I’ve picked up along the way are to take vitamins everyday. Write things down because you’ll forget that junk. Take time to celebrate everything. Give the why behind the compliment. (Instead of “I love you.”, say “I love you because…”).

I don’t know about you, but I want the most out of life everyday. I’m not here to just take up space.

Also, someone told me that Scott toilet tissue lasts the longest. That might be the most important thing I’ve learned in life. 😉

There’s a lot of other ideas that I’ve stolen from other people, because let’s face it…

None of us have all the answers.

So, what ideas have you stolen from others that could benefit the rest of us here?

  1. Good stuff here!! I love having my morning time. And totally with you on the vitamins. Vitamins and a crap ton of coffee to get my day going.
