"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."

"Get in the Game"As soon as you say something can't be done, you will be passed by a person who is already doing it. " Unknown"Do you typically observe the game of life from the sidelines, sit in the penalty box, play your heart out on the field, or show up when the opportunity has already passed by and ask, "What happened?Your answer to this question will reveal a lot about your initiative. Granted, various situations call for diverse levels of interest and engagement. However, if you want to rock your relationship results, it is going to require action, effort, initiative, and choosing to get in the game."

"Initiative is The Start of All Good Things. Your ship will never come in if you don't send any out. Have you ever found yourself dreaming, hoping, and waiting passively for things to change or for your life to get better?"

"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."

"Fear is not respect. It is but a conniving, little weasel next to that mighty lion. They are a far, far cry from the same animal."
Courage
"What's in a name? The accumulation of reputations from all who've owned it before you."
Identity
"Determined, I riseand face the dawn with resolve.This time I will win."
Determination
"Have the wisdom to perceive all there is to be thankful for, and then be thankful for the wisdom to perceive things so clearly."
Awareness
"I don't doubt that you think you love me, what I doubt is your understanding of love."
Love
"You think I read your thoughts, but it's your eyes that speak to me. When they glisten with moisture, I see a depth of emotion stirring behind them. One tearful glance begs me for a reassuring embrace. When your gaze glazes over like a misty morning, I know I've lost you to personal cares. A sharp, narrow look will keep me at bay while a wink and twinkle and the flirty flutter of your dark eyelashes invite my company. The strength and duration of a stare gives your feelings towards me away. And when those wary eyes dart to avoid my notice, all of your hidden secrets are betrayed."
Emotion
"One of the most troubling facts I have had to accept is that people are not all angel or all devil. They are both good and awful to varying degrees and in varying circumstances. On any given day, dependent upon the situation, you will be confronted by either the devil of a person or the angel of the same person or a curious mix of both. This means you can, and most likely will, love and hate the same individual alternately throughout your life. This truth I find painfully heartbreaking."
Relationship
"When you love someone, you don't care that she ate your sandwich. You only hope she found it delicious."
Humor
"You cannot know what I do not tell you, yet you will be judged harshly for not knowing."
Judgment
"Curiosity killed the cat, but not before teaching her that honey bees are not sweet, tweeting birds are slow to react, mice can serve as both toys and food, big dogs like to snuggle, falling isn't flying, cream drips from lazy cows, water should be avoided at all costs, baths don't require getting wet, kindness and cruelty often fall from the same hand, and engines remain comfortably warm long after the motor dies."
