Adam Goucher Quotes
Without initiative, or the capacity to act, to make things happen or just to do something, we run the risk of living passive lives waiting for things to happen. We wait for opportunities instead of making them. We wait for love, for our big break, for a problem to disappear. We are waiting for our lives to live us, instead of going out and living our lives with purpose and action.
