15. Proactive vs. Reactive
When we are PROACTIVE, we make good choices
about how we respond to something happening. we
are always ready with a calm attitude. we do things
to make sure that the right things will happen. we
are prepared for anything that might happen. When
things don’t go our way, we aren’t happy, BUT we
stay calm.
When we are REACTIVE, we could explode at any
minute. Things happen and they “catch we off
guard”. we aren’t ready for things that might
happen. we deal with things when they happen
instead of being prepared.
