It is slowly hitting me... I do not take much initiative with my life. Thus, I have not gotten very far.
Explore (Think and feel)
This is the reason I think and feel I have no passion in life. I "sit and wait" for something magical to happen. When it does, I get excited about it for a day or two, and then the excitement fades. It's like lighting a match and not getting to the campfire in time to make a big flame -- the flame on the little match gets blown out.
This is the reason why I feel complacent in life. When I take a step outside of myself to look at how I have lived my life overall, I see that all I have ever done was whatever was expected of me. I never took a step beyond the expected. I did a Google search on "how to take initiative" and found this cool blog post by Decker Marketing that talks about taking "initiative outside your triangle." It was very helpful to see a visual representation of an intangible idea.
Share (Thoughts)
So far my daily blogging assignments has turned into once-a-week assignments (mostly because I am so busy with so many things at once), but I am still committed to keeping up with my posts even if it's once in a while to at least see my progress. Now that I have come to realize that my lack of initiative is a big part of my lack of passion, I am once again feeling empowered to take on anything that comes my way. I feel empowered to start a ballroom dancing fellowship group at my church and volunteer my time to a non-profit organization like the March of Dimes. My outlook on life is slowly evolving from being negative to a positive one and I am enjoying this journey.
