Are you going to let inspiration move you to action? Or will it be desperation that forces your hand?
Be proactive. When you feel inspired to do something, do it. Don’t procrastinate.
Follow your interests, passions, and dreams. Set lofty goals that get you excited and figure out how to achieve those goals. Don’t wait for life to pass you by, or to let a bad situation get so bad that it forces you to change (even if you’re not ready). Make moves from a position of strength, not a position of weakness (desperation).
