It’s so easy to sit back and let things happen. A little bit too easy, if you ask me. Sure, you can wait on that guy to call you, you can wait on that company to get back to you after you submitted your resume, or you can wait until your pants don’t fit anymore to decide to lose weight.

Or you can take initiative, be proactive, and get the ball rolling. You can get up a half hour earlier to exercise before work. You can call that guy. You can shoot that company a quick email following up on that job opening. It may be a step outside the comfort zone, you may not be met with an immediately favorable response, but you will have done yourself justice by taking the reigns and being proactive, instead of sitting idly waiting for things to happen without you doing anything.

The ideas of “letting go” and “letting things fall into place” aren’t meant to replace action. Let go, and let things fall into place after you’ve made a move to get the ball rolling. By being proactive, you create momentum. Be proactive first, then reactive. Balance the two.
