7 habits of highly effective people
I am not a product of my circumstances.
I am a product of my decisions.

1 ST HABIT BE PROACTIVE
REACTIVE PEOPLE MINDSET IS BASED ON CIRCUMSTANCES. IF OTHERS TREAT WELL THEY DO THE JOB WELL. IF THE CLIMATE IS GOOD THEY FEEL GOOD. THEY ALWAYS DEPENDS ON CIRCUMSTANCES.
A proactive person uses proactive language–I can, I will, I prefer, etc.
A reactive person uses reactive language–I can’t, I have to, if only.
Proactive people focus their efforts on their Circle of Influence. They work on the things they can do something about: health, children, or problems at work.
Reactive people focus their efforts in the Circle of Concern–things over which they have little or no control: the national debt, terrorism, or the weather. Gaining an awareness of the areas in which we expend our energies is a giant step in becoming proactive.
