Nice, now I understand what does it mean to be truly proactive, act and react on circumstances according to my values, not my emotions. Thanks!

I believe that being proactive has to do with keeping urself accountable. Setting a goal or intention for a short period of time and sticking to it. (When I finish work I will go the to the gym). If I don’t go to the gym I will have failed the goal and lost self respect. Proactivity is about respecting urself and sticking to ur goals

This is a better video than most of what is out there. Being proactive is not a synonym for "being a go getter" or superhumanly motivated. It means taking control of your responses and decisions.

Pro activity to me means setting your self up for success in any situation no matter the outcome by preparing and planning and doing important things/things that you may not want to do or are hard first so you have an understanding and experience with anything life throws at you and can react confidently and with a clear head to shift the outcome in your favor

Now I completely understand the meaning of being proactive. Thanks

Thank you so much ,the video helped me to understand what a proactive should be.Your instruction almost reflected my questions and the explanation was too good

Proactive vs reactive to me. Reactive is someone who lets situations such as the weather, emotions and situations take control of them. They react and they let these things effect them and take it at face value. If the weather is bad a reactive person would say I’m going to skip my run because the weather is bad. A proactive person would see this situation. Realised that the weather is an issue but not change the outcome and still go for a run. This is because a proactive person sets themselves goals and doesn’t let changes effect them aims.

Wow, I’m so grateful that I was able to find this video. I always knew I wasn’t a proactive person and I was a reactive person, but I never knew that to be reactive also meant over reacting or even breaking down from a simple criticism or mistake. Now I know, and understand that a lot of my mental health issues can be solved if I work hard to become a proactive person and remind myself every single day that this will make me happier. Thank you so much for this video; it really did help.❤

I did read three times proactive chapter but I couldn't understand fully. But your video help me easy to understand it. Thank you.

I love you. Being proactive means relying on myself to make decisions without fear or hesitation. Thank you

Thinking proactive for me means being intentional with my life and starting to do things. Im tired of just talking about doing things or just doing things because its a reaction to a consequence.

For me proactive means self control. If you able to contron your own emotions, behavior, actions against the all type of situation and act which is suitable, then you are a proactive person. Only then you can do your work and will not forget to fuel your car.

I liked the video , it just reminded me of the power I have to choose in any situation. I can choose to be a victim or decide that the toxic environment will not define who I am. I think proactive people look at the situation and decide so do something. I love the example about the executive who elected to understand the Boss and compensated ! That’s an interesting way to address things. Complaining versus competent Atong. Never thought of that before . M thank Sally PinkieSerote -Baloyi

You nailed it, first time I fully grasp the habit of being proactive thank you so much for this video.

A proactive person realises the power of choices. He doesnot react to circumstances . Rather he takes charge of his life. He is driven by his personal values. . A reactive person feels victimised, blames others and is influenced by external factors like people circumstances etc. His life is driven by external factors. Thanks for the video

It means taking responsibility of your life, you should accept your reality and that you are the one who made it in such way

It’s very easy to react to what people say about you and what they do to you.

I used to be the kind of guy that joked about "coming down with a case of the callouts." I quit jobs like it was going out of style. My life seriously turned around when I started to be proactive. Everything has been better because I am progressing in a better direction

For me, I think that the proactive people are the ones who are the solution to an issue instead of being the problem themselves. The proactive people also take the responsibility of whatever the result/consequences will be of their reply to something cause they know that they have the freedom to choose. The emotions of proactive people are off. especially anger or sorrow. They are never hopeless about anything cause they know that everything can be solved if next time they put more effort in their work.
