Second, take action.<\/i> There is an old saying \u2018you can if you will\u2019. Initiators don\u2019t wait for others to motivate them. They know it\u2019s their responsibility to move themselves forward beyond their comfort zone, and they make it a practice. President Theodore Roosevelt said, \u2018There is nothing brilliant or outstanding in my record, except perhaps this one thing. I do the things I believe ought to be done. And when I make up my mind to do a thing, I act.\u2019 <\/p>\n
The Bible says, \u2018Trust in the Lord, and do good<\/i> [take action]; dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness.\u2019<\/i> (Psalm\u00a037:3\u00a0NKJV) <\/p>\n
Third, learn from your failures and keep moving forward.<\/i> The good news for initiators is, they make things happen. The bad news is, they make lots of mistakes along the way. The greater your potential, the greater your chance for failure. <\/p>\n
Senator Robert Kennedy said, \u2018Only those who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly.\u2019 Are you constantly on the lookout for opportunity, or do you wait for it to come to you? Are you willing to pray and take a step of faith, or do you endlessly analyse everything? As former chairman of Chrysler, Lee Iacocca said, \u2018Even the correct decision is wrong when it was taken too late.\u2019 When was the last time you initiated something substantial in your life? If you haven\u2019t moved yourself forward out of your comfort zone lately, you might have to jump-start your initiative. <\/p>\n
The Bible says, \u2018He is your helper and your shield.\u2019<\/i> (Psalm\u00a0115:11\u00a0NLT) That means God will help you to succeed. And when you fail, He will protect and redirect you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
