solid stuff.

proactive vs. reactive on my list of to-write articles. so important.

i think sometimes it’s not easy to know how you’ll improve but, as you say in the first step, know the most important parts of your life and the how will sort itself out. just take action with the allocated time and the how – which often seems a complete mystery – works itself out.

So many people live reactively rather than proactively and are not even aware of it. This post really brings this critical issue to light and shows us all how we can make the switch to a proactive lifestyle. I particularly like the concept of knowing what’s most important in life. Amid the everyday living, picking out and focusing on the important things can get lost. Great advice!

Hi Glen,

Being proactive will transfer more power into our own hand and we will be able to make more things happen.

There are 3 kinds of people:

1. Those who make things happen,

2. Those who watch things happen, and

3. Those who ask, “What happened?”

Who do you wanna be? I choose to make things happen.

Cheers~

Thanks Glen for another excellent article. Proactive behavior is indeed a very important factor in life success.

Boy was I guilty of being reactive to the one below. I hope your readers don’t make the same mistake I did.

“Proactive would be eating healthily and staying in shape, rather than needing a doctor to tell you your health is deteriorating quickly and using that as motivation to get fit (reactive).”

Glen,

Good post. The difference between proactive and reactive is subtle, yet striking: both types of people are busy, but proactive people are the only ones who ever seem to get anything done.
