Whenever someone does something really sh*tty to me, I take a deep yoga breath and silently chant:  “Karma’s a bitch.”  Sure, it might take a long time for karma to swing back in the right direction but eventually, the universe corrects itself…or at least that’s what I keep telling myself.

Sometimes however, you shouldn’t have to wait for karma to step in and take care of your problems. If you’re like me and have been screwed by a friend, peer or colleague, guess what?  You are allowed to tell them that they suck.  Just think about it.  One of your ideas was just stolen by someone who you thought you could trust and they are now actually making money off of your ingenuity.  What do you think you should do?  Let them get away with it?  Let karma hit them upside the head?  Or tell them in no uncertain terms that you are truly disappointed in them for stealing your idea.

In my past life (okay so maybe it was just last year), I would have totally let that person get away with it…in fact, I actually did let them get away with it but not anymore.  Sure they say that copying someone’s idea is the sincerest form of flattery but not when that idea is used to make a profit at the expense of the person who came up with the idea in the first place.

So what will you do the next time someone steals your idea?  Will you let them have it?  Here’s hoping you will.  Because as much as I’d like Karma to work it’s magic, it’s much quicker to give that cheater a piece of your mind.
