Are You Proactive, Reactive or Inactive?
Proactive
Do you notice what is needed and take care of it before problems occur?
When we are highly
effective and responsible, we handle issues before they happen.
We notice potential
problems and do what is needed ahead of time.
We think in terms of
first things first and follow a strategy for success.
Reactive
Do you see what is happening and then become fearful and defensive?
Are you afraid
and avoiding what bad might happen?
Do you become
angry and upset when problems occur?
When we react
with fear to anything or anyone, we are less effective, flexible, creative and
successful.
Inactive
Do you fear what you see and then avoid, stay comfortable and do nothing?
Fearful people often
become lethargic, apathetic and even depressed.
The less you do, the
more you hide and become invisible or unavailable.
With fear-based
thinking, people may learn to avoid problems by staying quiet, uninvolved and
alone.
Responsive
Are you able to respond with creativity, respect and love to whatever seems
to occur?
When we have taken
care of our own responsibilities, it seems natural and easy to be helpful.
We need to take good
care of ourselves, so we have the resilience and ability to respond to others.
With an ability to
respond quickly and easily most issues can be resolved effectively.
Ask
yourself: Are you willing and able to respond with kindness, when
there is a need?
Responsive people
are not angered or afraid.
They feel confident
and capable to handle whatever the need responsibly.
They take full
responsibility for doing what is needed and easily apologize for mistakes.
Ask
yourself: Do you behave in a reactive way, lose your patience or get upset
easily?
Reactive people are
easily angered, afraid or defensive because they do not know what to do.
They may feel inept,
confused and sometime abusive or abused.
When fearful, people
are often unable to behave responsibly.
When
people feel confident and capable of responding to their world, they become
more creative.
When people are
awake and aware of the needs around them, they tend to become more proactive.
When people feel
creative and competent, they tend to do more to have a better life.
When people are able
to take responsible care of themselves and their own lives, they are happier,
healthier and more productive and fulfilled.
Live
well and Love well.
