Initiative and Momentum

The following is a quote from John C. Maxwell, which is quite apropos for me. Taking initiative even when I don't have all the answers and don't have a good feeling about the next step is sometimes quite difficult.

Initiative
by Dr. John C. Maxwell

It's cliché to say that every journey begins with a single step, yet it's true. Leaders don't wait for everything to be perfect before they move forward. They don't wait for all the problems or obstacles to disappear. They don't wait until their fear subsides. Leaders take initiative.Leaders know the secret of momentum: once you take the first step and start moving forward, everything becomes clearer and easier. If momentum gets strong enough, problems begin to take care of themselves and new opportunities arise. But the benefits of momentum only come into play once a leader takes initiative.
