If one has fear, there can be no initiative in the creative sense of the word. To have initiative in this sense is to do something original - to do it spontaneously, naturally, without being guided, forced, controlled. It is to do something which you love to do.
No bird has ever uttered note that was not in some first bird's throat; since eden's freshness and man's fall no rose has been original.
“Don't worry about people stealing an idea. If it's original, you will have to ram it down their throats.”
Only those with no memory insist on their originality.
