Day 14 - "Just do it!"

Discover

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.
