Be proactive from "summary" of 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen R. Covey
Being proactive is the first habit of highly effective people. It means taking responsibility for your own actions and behaviors, rather than reacting to external stimuli. Proactive people focus on what they can control, rather than worrying about things that are beyond their influence. They understand that they have the power to choose their responses to any given situation.
Proactive individuals are driven by their values and principles, rather than by their emotions or circumstances. They don't blame others for their problems, but instead look for solutions and opportunities for growth. They are proactive in setting goals and working towards them, even in the face of obstacles or setbacks.
Proactive behavior is rooted in self-awareness and self-discipline. It requires taking the initiative to make things happen, rather than waiting for things to happen to you. Proactive people are proactive in their relationships as well, taking the time to understand others' perspectives and communicate effectively.
By being proactive, you can create the life you want, rather than letting external forces dictate your path. It is about taking charge of your own destiny and making choices that align with your values and goals. Being proactive empowers you to overcome challenges and achieve success in all areas of your life.
