The most understandable definition of this term I
have been able to find is this; "Readiness to attempt
or engage in what requires energy or daring".
Recently, a new comrade brought this term,
"initiative" up to me and it has not left my mind
since. Although I would like to talk about the
relevance to the White Advocacy movement and or White
Pride in general, I have been drawn to a much more
personal perspective that I would like to share. I
will be VERY honest here and open doors in my own
life. Simply take the following and use it or refuse
it, this as anything else is your choice.
Taking the topic of initiative and breaking it to
the two parts listed above, "energy and/or daring"
lets take the first. Energy......! The single greatest
asset we have at our disposal. Even the smallest
amount of energy put forth in a constructive manner is
incalculable in its return. Even at my age of 34 I
wish I had not simply thrown so very much of it away.
The loss of such initiative in any circumstance is
ALWAYS destructive in some aspect, whether it be a
love lost due to a moment of pleasure elsewhere, or a
single act against a single individual robbing the
persons future of more worthy endeavors. Recently, I
have had several "body blows" at my incentive. Luckily
they have been emotional and economic in nature, (both
are conquerable in one way or another). I have been
forced to reevaluate my "worth", my stability
economically and emotionally as well. I will need to
look at myself from the "outside" and direct my
energies in fruitful directions. We all need to do
this at some point and I consider myself to be lucky
since I feel strong in my beliefs, and in my abilities
to make accommodations for change in future times. I
have been through worse and it brought me here. I
always look forward to the next possibility in life
and in our movement. You should too, since it is the
point and essence of the 14 words.
Daring is the second part of initiative. A scary
thought; To be "daring"? Daring to be alone and NOT
angry about it. Daring to be of pride, and not deny
it. Daring to change things in our own lives, or in
our environments? Daring to be unwaivering, or
thoughtful in an argument. I personally have individual
battles with ALL of these, and I know you do to.
Personal fear MUST however be vanquished by personal
DARING! The energy and daring that are released to
obliterate fear make _EVERYTHING_ much more worthwhile
and of value. Even the apologies we make when they
become necessary feed the victory of daring over fear.
I have been wrong many more times in my life than I
was EVER right, but the ability to admit such gives
people who know me the confidence that I am doing
exactly as I feel is right at the time. It has allowed
me to make friends of all social spectrums, and of
varying political views. However, it has also allowed
them to be my FRIENDS disagreements aside, we know one
another to be valuable and trustworthy. I am "friends"
with no one I do not trust or does not trust me. I
consider that in itself to be daring.
Go out my friends, and find "Initiative". In your
lives, in the movement, and for others who are yet to
be born to our great race. Daring and Energy are your
weapons and muscle. Even without any other, the weapon
of initiative makes you and I much harder to defeat in
the struggle of life, or White Pride. Find a direction
or commitment to yourself, to your race, and to the
betterment of our struggle. Victory is not only an
idea at that point, it turns into an INEVITABILITY!!
White Pride and Honor.
