I got this idea from another writer so I decided I’d write my own list. Here goes! 10 Things I’ll Always Do: 1. Pray. I’ll always want to revere God above everything and remember that He is all that, not me. 2. Read. I love learning and I’ll always want to read, especially autobiographies and basically anything that’ll help me grow. 3. Be loud. I talk loud, I laugh loud, I’m just loud.

To Get What You’ve Never Had You Must Do What You’ve Never Done
We’ve all heard it: To get what you’ve never had you must do what you’ve never done. We hear it all the time, we encourage others with it, but are we actually living it?
