Module 4
The Proactive Focus / Leading the Way

2. Your life doesn't just "happen." Whether you know
it or not, it is carefully designed by you. The
choices, after all, are yours. You choose happiness.
You choose sadness. You choose decisiveness. You
choose ambivalence. You choose success. You
choose failure. You choose courage. You choose
fear. Just remember that every moment, every
situation, provides a new choice. And in doing so,
it gives you a perfect opportunity to do things
differently to produce more positive results.
Your choice…

Reactive VS Proactive?

8. Being Proactive is about taking
responsibility for your life. You can't keep
blaming everything on your parents or
grandparents. Proactive people recognize
that they are "response-able." They don't
blame genetics, circumstances, conditions,
or conditioning for their behavior. They
know they choose their behavior.

Usual Expressions

10. Reactive people, on the other hand, are often
affected by their physical environment. They find
external sources to blame for their behavior. If the
weather is good, they feel good. If it isn't, it affects
their attitude and performance, and they blame the
weather. All of these external forces act as stimuli
that we respond to. Between the stimulus and the
response is your greatest power--you have the
freedom to choose your response. One of the most
important things you choose is what you say. Your
language is a good indicator of how you see
yourself.
