Taking an initiative

An initiative is the responsibility of taking it upon one’s self to do something rather than waiting for someone to do it for you. It comes at a point when you realize there is no miracle in success. All successful people take an initiative in life by realizing that they are on their own. Our parents, relatives and friends may be there for us but everyone has to run his or her own race in life. The most challenging part in living a successful life is taking an initiative and once you are past this stage other things would just come along. Many would be tempted to say I am waiting for God to answer my prayers and so they live hoping that God will do it for them. The bible says when you ask it shall be given to you knock and the door shall be open to you. If these statements are true, how come there are beggars on the streets, I am sure that even beggars believe in God. There is no point waiting for eternity for a prayer to be answered when you can take your own initiative to do it.
