Initiative
"The future belongs to those who take initiative."

Aaron is an entrepreneur who has finally climbed over the wall of his cubicle. Owner of TrimTab Creative and many other future businesses, he is always looking for what is next and what can consume his time and thought (besides his lovely wife). Besides building the next new thing he can be seen in Starbucks cafes across the country with his nose in the latest novel on his Kindle 2, or pen mid-sentance in his Moleskin or Fieldnotes notebook.
"The future belongs to those who take initiative."
- Martha Retallick, Freelance designer and photographerI'm currently reading through several books. One of these is "Make Today Count" by John C. Maxwell. In chapter 5, entitled "Thinking", he makes several excellent points about the practice of thinking. This next line struck me the most: "ideas, put into action, give an advantage."
Personally, this was great to hear. I always have new ideas, but don't always act on them, but I should, and this quote reaffirms that. An idea not put into action never even had a chance, but an idea put to action has that chance and gives you the advantage. Just a thought.
What do you think?
