They work on the things they can do something about: health, children, problems at work. Proactive people focus their efforts on their Circle of Influence. The problems, challenges, and opportunities we face fall into two areas–Circle of Concern and Circle of Influence. Instead of reacting to or worrying about conditions over which they have little or no control, proactive people focus their time and energy on things they can control. Recognize reactive triggers, increase my circle of influence, become a transition person and exercise the four human endowments.I can expand my personal freedom and influence through being response-able.I am responsible of my behavior and the choices I make.I am responsible for my choices and have the freedom to choose.Focus time and energy on things I can control (circle of influence) in lieu of reacting to or worrying about conditions over which I have little or no control (circle of concern). By grounding my emotional life not on the moods or weaknesses of others, but upon my self-chosen values, my behavior is a product of my own conscious choices based on principles, rather than a product of my conditions, based on feelings. I carry my own weather – whether it rains or shines makes no difference to me. I have the ability to choose my own response.
Reactive people believe they are not responsible for what they say and do–they have no choice. A reactive person uses reactive language–I can’t, I have to, if only. A proactive person uses proactive language–I can, I will, I prefer, etc. Your language is a good indicator of how you see yourself. one of the most important things you choose is what you say. Between the stimulus and the response is your greatest power–you have the freedom to choose your response. All of these external forces act as stimuli that we respond to. If it isn’t, it affects their attitude and performance, and they blame the weather. They find external sources to blame for their behavior. Reactive people, on the other hand, are often affected by their physical environment. Proactive people recognize that they are “response-able.” They don’t blame genetics, circumstances, conditions, or conditioning for their behavior. You can’t keep blaming everything on your parents or grandparents. Habit 1 – BE PROACTIVE:īe Proactive is about taking responsibility for your life.
But if we want to make significant quantum changes, we need to work on our basic paradigms – the way we view ourselves and the world around us. It becomes obvious that if we want to make relatively minor changes in our lives, we can focus on our attitudes and behaviors.
