Thinking Error #24 - Failure to assume the responsible initiative

I do not want to assume responsible initiatives (planning and starting projects) because (a) they fail to provide the excitement and power thrust of forbidden activities, (b) they do not guarantee success of triumph, and (c) I am often afraid that taking on responsible tasks will expose my lack of knowledge and ineptness. I am a “get-by artist”, expecting others to figure out everything that needs to be done, tell me how, and make it easy for me to accomplish.
