Do you have it?

Initiative: The power or ability to begin or to follow through energetically with a plan or task; enterprise and determination.

Have you sat and wondered why some people take initiative while others find themselves to be stagnant? I often question why individuals believe that taking no action, stagnancy, is the correct action.

There are some individuals I've met in my life that believe that it's okay to mooch off another. They feel, for some reason or another, that it is perfectly okay to cause disruption in the lives of those around them instead of bettering themselves and their families.

There is much to be said for an individual taking the initiative to better themselves and their lives. It doesn't take much effort to get started and when you do, the feeling of worth prompts you to move forward. One small action starts a snow-ball effect; leading to great change!

If you are one who works diligently and deliberately to ensure a better life for yourself and your family; I commend you! If you are one who lacks the initiative in your life and feels it's better to wait and see; I hope you'll light a fire in your own life and better yourself before those around you view you as much less than you really are...
