One of Anton Kriel’s “secrets” that I find most useful is his idea of proactive action. He states that it is not enough to simply have a plan or dream, but one must take active steps to make the dream or plan a reality. This idea can be applied to many aspects of life; for example in terms of personal growth and development, actively seeking out opportunities for learning and growth through experiences such as mentoring relationships, volunteer work, courses or workshops will help an individual reach their goals much faster than simply waiting passively for something to happen. Similarly in business settings, taking initiative by identifying problems and actively working towards solutions leads to more successful outcomes compared to those who wait for instructions from others before taking action.
