Exercise Your capacity for proactivity rather than reaction

Exercise Your capacity for proactivity rather than reaction

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.
