Editor's Notes
- #2 If you are proactive, you make things happen, instead of waiting for them to happen to you. Active means "doing something." The prefix pro- means "before." So if you are proactive, you are ready before something happens. The opposite is being reactive, or waiting for things to unfold before responding.
- #3 To initiate means to start something ; to cause the beginning. A reaction is never a beginning. It is always a second action. We react to things because we let the ability of the situation or a person to dictate us. We let them dictate our behavior or our attitude.
- #4 We all have Special powers and special abilities.. Timing is everything because….
- #5 Again the KEYWORD is “TIMING IS EVERYTHING”… you create your own events and opportunities, YOU CONTROL YOUR OWN LIFE, you DO NOT LET THE SITUATION or OTHER PEOPLE to control you..
- #6 One of my favorite qualities of leaders is how leaders choose their response. When we choose not to react the way others might normally react, we exercise a little leadership. It takes courage and reserve and planning to choose actions when we might otherwise simply react. But every time we make a conscious choice, we exercise leadership.
- #8 Our core values is to know what is right from wrong.. SOMETIMES reactions are necessary for safety and peace (automatic defense mechanism of self). BUT being reactive often use as an excuse to abandon the work of being our best self and leading with character.
- #15 NEVER GIVE UP!
