Which of the following is a behavior of a proactive person?

Taking charge and finding a solution.

Waiting for a problem to be solved.

Being rude when something doesn't go your way.

Which of the following things do you have control over?

How you react to things that happen to you.

Events happening in other countries.

What is the main idea of this passage? You can usually hear the difference between proactive and reactive people by the type of language they use. Reactive language usually sounds like this: "That's me." That's just the way I am." "There's nothing I can do." What they are really saying is, "I'm not responsible for the way I act." Reactive language takes power away from you and gives it to something or someone else.

Reactive language takes power away from you and gives it to something or someone else.

Proactive language is very powerful.

Reactive language gives power to a person because they have more justification for a reaction.

What is the main idea of this passage? The fact is, we can't control everything that happens to us. We can't control the color of our skin, who will win the NBA finals, where we were born, who our parents are, how much tuition will be next fall, or how others might treat us. But there is one thing we can control; how we respond to what happens to us. And that is what counts! This is why we need to stop worrying things we can't control and start worrying about things we can.

We can't control everything that happens to us, but we can control how we respond.

We can't control everything that happens to us, so we shouldn't worry at all.

We can't control everything that happens to us, so focus on other things more important.

What is the main idea of this passage? Being proactive really means two things. First, you take responsibility for your life. Second, you have a "can-do" attitude. Can-do is very different from "no-can-do." George Bernard Shaw, the English playwright, knew all about can-do. Listen to how he said it: "People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are. I don't believe in circumstances. The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and if they can't find them, make them."

Being proactive means having a can-do attitude.

Being proactive means being able to accomplish anything.

Being proactive means blaming others or circumstances.

Being proactive is looking for what you want, and waiting for it to happen.

Your best friend says he/she is too busy to hang out but you see him/her on social media having fun with others. What is the proactive choice the next time you see him/her?

Realize he/she has weaknesses just like you. Forgive him/her.

Chew him/her out and storm off.

Decide he/she is two-faced and give him/her the silent treatment.

Exclude him/her just like he/she did to you.

Explain Habit 1 - Be proactive...

I am a responsible person. I take initiative. I choose my actions, attitudes, and moods

I spend my time on things that are the most important

I value other people's strengths and learn from others.

Think all you can eat buffet. Everyone can win.
