When you take the initiative, you make the conscious choice of stepping out of your comfort zone, shattering your limiting beliefs to rise high and meet your true potential. Here are four reasons why you should start taking initiatives today:
- It gives you the confidence to go beyond your comfort zone: The foundation of initiatives lies in the desire to move beyond what you already do and explore what you can do better. It gives you the confidence to accept and learn from setbacks.
- It makes you proactive: Initiatives are driven by the will to stay ahead of the situation. When you take the initiative, you train yourself to predict and foresee possible solutions to problems that might come up in the future.
- Initiatives = innovation: When you take initiatives to do something, you essentially begin coming up with multiple ideas to address the situation. Doing so promotes divergent thinking at the subconscious level and enhances problem-solving.
- Initiatives lead to better decision making: When you 'decide' to take the initiative, you have already decided on the best way to deal with a situation. Doing so helps you make better decisions and forms an effective cycle of creative thinking and decision-making.
Initiatives make 'good' even better and put on on a path where you will always seek to grab opportunities and learn all along.
