The development of initiative begins in early childhood. But what if you have already matured and formed as a person, but this useful quality has not yet awakened in you?
Initiative
First of all, in order to develop initiative, you need to understand and correctly assess the current situation in which you will have to act. You should take into account all the subtleties, try to predict the success of the event and choose the most suitable time for enthusiasm.
It is impossible to 100% calculate and take into account all possible obstacles or the correctness of your own judgments. However, in order to achieve your goal and accomplish the task when taking the initiative, you need to carefully consider the plan of action. Otherwise, it may turn out to be a failure or negatively perceived by others.
In addition to prudence and planning, you need to have a determination to act and a willingness to take responsibility for your actions. Sometimes the most brilliant ideas are not implemented due to the indecision of their creator.
How to develop initiative
Initiative is a quality of character that does not arise just like that, it needs gradual development, the acquisition of the ability to defend one's interests. Learn to rely only on yourself and your own strength, and take all responsibility for your own life and well-being on yourself. This does not apply to assignments, delegations of authority and requests for help, it is about your life and its goals. The worst that can be is inaction, passive expectation of favorable changes in life. Take action and strive to correct all your shortcomings and omissions without waiting for someone else's instructions.
It’s impossible to learn to be proactive without letting go of the habit of procrastinating. The deadly enemies of initiative are laziness, indifference and passivity. Do your best today without delay.
Do what needs to be done every day without commands, advice or reminders. Moreover, every day try to do something unusual for you that benefits others.
Begin to take the initiative in your day to day activities. Don't get hung up on negative reviews directed at you. Remember that only the one who does nothing is not criticized. Try to listen only to constructive criticism, and let gossip and slander go deaf ears.
Not only a lively mind, but also good physical shape will help you to become an initiative person. Initiative, first of all, is the flow of free energy that finds its way out in effective activity, which can exist only in a healthy body.
