Going out of your way to do something.

Putting yourself out there.

Trying.

Reaching out to someone who inspires you.

Applying for that job you’re not qualified for.

Sometimes that’s enough.

The simple act of attempting something puts you in a class of your own.

Most people don’t start.

They expect things to happen because they have a great résumé and reputation.

Let me tell you something, no one cares.

It’s not just going to magically happen.

You have to go get it.

You have to attempt it.

You won’t land that dream job suddenly.

That project won’t create itself.

You won’t hit your goals for the year by sheer luck or karma or because you feel you should.

You need to take initiative and then plan the rest.

You’re already ahead of 100% of the people who haven’t started.

Give it a go and then fine tune your approach.

Sometimes no one tries but you.

You don’t have to be great or even ready.

The attempt can be all that matters.

The start can be the thing that separates you from the pack.

Take initiative and you won’t regret it.

Think it should or will happen is the path to regret.
