"Initiative and starting are about neither of these. They are about "let's see" and "try". If there's no clear right answer, perhaps the thing you ought to do is something new. Something new is often the right path when the world is complicated."

"Just Show Up. Guess what? Being in the right place at the right time can't happen without your first showing up. Companies have been started, marriages made, friendships found, careers created, and opportunities seized by those people who just showed up. Whether through coincidence, serendipity, strategy, or fate, taking the initiative to show up will reward you in ways which never would have occurred if you hadn't. Just by showing up, you have taken a proactive step to impress people by being there" in person and demonstrating your willingness to be involved."

"Why Do Some People NOT Take Initiative? They have a FEAR of . . . rejection, looking stupid, failing, criticism, getting out of their comfort zone, or imposing on other people. They are unmotivated or uninspired. They get stuck in negativity, confusion, stress, or doubt. They don't want to upset the apple cart or the status quo. They are lazy, disengaged, or indifferent. They have LACK of . . . energy, desire, confidence, self-esteem, skills, creativity, imagination, connections, resources, education."
