QUOTE
Being proactive means that you take responsibility for your actions rather than blame your entire life on external circumstances.
Proactive people believe their mood or behavior is a function of their internal engineering. Rather than blame others for failure, they seek the way forward. They view life in terms of 2 concentric circles:
•CIRCLE OF CONCERN
•CIRCLE OF INFLUENCE
The circle of concern is filled with the things we worry about: the bills we need to pay, the loans we need to refund,etc.
This circle is quite big.
Inside this circle is a smaller circle called the circle of influence.
