When addressing initiative, allow one useful observation to become your guidepost. A clear path requires boundaries, not total erasure of personal requirements. See the beauty in that simple phrasing once the extra layers of language dissolve away. Let initiative meet perspective in the way you approach this. Let this small step help you connect separate ideas into a useful whole as you separate an intention from an expectation.
