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.”
