Proactive Behavior

Proactive:     Be Proactive is about taking responsibility for your life. You can't keep blaming everything on your parents or grandparents. Proactive people recognize that they are "responseable." They don't blame genetics, circumstances, conditions, or conditioning for their behavior. They know they choose their behavior.

Be Proactive:

One of the traits that every successful person has is their proactive about everything. I think that's a really great philosophy to have. Because your  first  step  towards  being  proactive  requires  you to  adapt  the  capability  of  anticipating  problems,  opportunities  and  events.  Understanding  work,  recognizing  daily  practices,  gathering  information  and  coming up  with  different  scenarios  can  always  assist  you  in  this  matter.

Power of pause:  According to Mark Twain:        “The right word may be effective, but no word was ever as effective as a rightly timed pause" 
There are four tools that helps a person to think before he speaks.

• Self awarness
• Imagination
• Will power
• Conscience

You either use or fail to use your four human tools every day of your life.  The more you use them, the stronger they become and the more power you have to be proactive.

Examples of proactive behavior:-

An example of proactive in a sentence is: He took proactive steps to improve his grades by studying all the math examples the teacher gave him.

When a person is proactive, they are acting in advance of a future event. Proactive employees typically don’t need to be asked to do something, and will usually require less detailed instructions

Reactive:

Thinking with emotions rather than using emotions to help them think. It is exact opposite to proactive.

Examples of reactive:-

 Reactive people tend to use “I can’t”, “If only”, “I have to”. These phrases are shifting the blame to outside circumstances, getting rid of responsibility. Consciously change these to more positive, empowering phrases. “I can”, “I will”, “I want to”. A simple change in language can make a big difference.
