2. The Apple Store

7. Go to your local coffee shop More people have come to appreciate the joy one can find in a simple cup of coffee Take a break and walk over to the nearest coffee house. read a good book, listen to inspiring music, and let the creative beast inside you go wild.
8. Meet up with old friends The great thing about doing this is that old friends help us get back in touch with our roots. Being with them gives you the opportunity to reminisce about the days when you could find joy in the simplest of things. Also, you might just see a couple of hands raised offering a business partnership.
9. Go to an orphanage An orphanage is a great place to learn and experience new things. take care of the children for a day and listen to their stories. What could be more inspiring than being a blessing to other people? Moreover, thinking like a kid can help you build something old people can only dream of.
But wait-There's more
10. The bath Everyone needs their privacy, and sometimes it's just so hard to get away from all the hustle around you. more often than not, no one will bother you while you're in the john. If you really have no time to go out on your own and enjoy, you can always have some private time in the bathtub, shower, or toilet. Light a candle, put on some relaxing music, and soak in the tub.
Everybody has at least one great idea, but a silly idea acted upon will always be of more value than an idea keep to yourself. The time to act is now; flesh out those good ideas, and cultivate them. Besides, your silly idea could prove to be an inspiration to someone else.
