Life can be simple, we achieve anything we want, but for that, we can't just follow the same old routine, doubt, and wait for the dreams to be true.
To achieve them, we have to take the initiative in life and take proactive steps.
π Start by Doing Little Things
Personal initiative is more than a fundamental requirement to achieving our goals, it's also about doing the little things.
- Picking up dirty clothes.
- Making bed.
- Cleaning your desk.
In a sense our personal initiative is noticing and being aware of the things that need to be done without being asked.

It's up to us to recognize our gifts and share them with others.
π΅ Learn from mistakes
If we're not making mistakes, we're not stretching and growing.
