Initiative – Webster defines this word as the power or opportunity to do something before others do: the energy and desire that is needed to do something: a plan or program that is intended to solve a problem
This word has been on my mind lately and I have really been wondering if I truly take initiative every single day. I found these quotes on taking initiative and they have motivated me to go above and beyond. I hope you will find encouragement in them too!

“Initiative is doing the right things without being told.” Elbert Hubbard

“Employers and business leaders need people who can think for themselves – who can take initiative and be the solution to problems” Stephen Covey
“Without initiative, leaders are simply workers in leadership positions.” Bo Bennett
Have a wonderful day!
