Be Proactive - Habits of Highly Effective People

In his extraordinarily successful bestseller "The 7 Habits of Highly Successful People", Stephen Covey explains that successful people are proactive.  That is, they take responsibility for themselves and for their actions (the word responsibility means "having the ability to respond") and they see themselves as being the creator of their lives.

Here are some examples of the language that is used by people who are proactive:

• What do I want?
• How can I make it happen?
• What is the best response to this situation?
• Is this response in my best interest?
• How can I make time for what is most important to me?
• How can I get the money to participate in that project?
• I'll do it.
• How can I increase my energy?
• What can I do so I don't find myself in another situation like this in the future?
• What books can I read or what courses can I take in order to learn this?
