"Every Day's a Bonus"

Ordinary people sometimes have extraordinary things to say.

We’re all familiar with famous quotes from famous people. Like...

Helen Keller: 

Life is Either a Daring Adventure or Nothing

or

Confucius:

 Stay on the road you’re on and your likely to end up where you’re headed

or

Sir Philip Sidney:

Either I will find a way or I will Make One

Sometimes brilliance is spoken by people in our everyday lives. 

Not all great quotes are spoken by famous people. I have been inspired by sayings shared with me by everyday people.

The very first was a saying that my father heard during WWII that stuck with him throughout his life.

Over the years I took note of sayings from everyday people.  Like the valet at the auto dealership. Or my dog trainer. Or a guy I worked with.

I started to write down things that I heard people say or things that were spoken to me. 

I found that inspiration is all around us, if we just listen for it. 

As my collection of life lessons from everyday people grew, I started to share them with other people. The reaction was powerful.

 People loved hearing these life lessons. 

I decided to share these life lessons with everyone so that the power of these words can grow and have a positive impact on everyone who reads them.
