Proactive Run

Quotes

Highly proactive people don’t blame circumstances, conditions, or conditioning for their behavior. Their behavior is a product of their own conscious choice. – Stephen Covey

The way to bring about change is to be proactive and active. – Octavia Spencer

You have a choice in life. You can either live on-purpose, according to a plan you’ve set. Or you can live by accident, reacting to the demands of others. The first approach is proactive; the second reactive. – Michael Hyatt

Don’t just sit there and worry. Be proactive. Do something – anything – about what’s worrying you so you can gain information, focus and control over the situation. I’ve suffered a great many catastrophes in my life. Most of them never happened. – Mark Twain

Look at the word responsibility-“response-ability”-the ability to choose your response. Highly proactive people recognize that responsibility. They do not blame circumstances, conditions, or conditioning for their behavior. Their behavior is a product of their own conscious choice, based on values, rather than a product of their conditions, based on feeling. –  Stephen Covey

Abstract

The difference between long-term success and failure are our personal responses to what happens to us and what we also strive to create daily. We can choose to be proactive or reactive to any situation that comes our way. As I always say life happens each and every day.

How we choose to respond to circumstances and situations around us marks us for greatness or mediocrity down the line. We hand over responsibility- RESPONSE – ABILITY to other individuals and we do not become the masters of our fate. We need to take our ability to respond back and be an influencer of our outcomes.

Responsibility

We are all built with the ability to respond to events. How we respond to our circumstances determines our eventual outcomes in life later on. We can choose to leave our fate to other people and usually it’s very traumatic when we do this.

We all have a benefactor in our lives at one point or the other. This may come in the form of our parents, relatives, employers or other donors. Unfortunately, over a lengthy period of time this makes as dependent and reactive over time.

If you dig deep and think about all the areas where you have failed in life the one key factor that stands out is that we were usually coasting and leaving others to make decisions on our behalf. Usually these decisions were not optimal and affected us detrimentally in the long run.

Apart from our parents there are no other individuals who will have our best interests at heart. Most decisions are made to benefit their own interests. This is a fact of life we have to face up to early enough. We have many good and evil people out there we need to be very careful in our interactions with all external parties.

    Have you ever considered about adding a little bit more than just your articles?
    I mean, what you say is fundamental and everything.
    However just imagine if you added some great images or videos to give your posts more, “pop”!
    Your content is excellent but with images and clips, this site could definitely be one of the greatest in its niche.
    Very good blog!
