In this video I explain the differences between a proactive and reactive mindset. I provide examples of how being proactive will vastly improve your success towards your life's goals and other aspirations.
What is does it mean to be proactive?
Proactive people are very organized and they project themselves into the future rather than focusing only on what’s happening in front of them. So you must strive to be proactive.
What does it mean to be reactive?
In general reactive people tend to deal with things as they come. These people wait to see what life brings them and then they simply react. Reactive people are often struggle with :
- Health
- Finances
- Goal setting
The problem with reactive people are that they don’t plan things. They show up to the life unprepared and deal with things as they come, which eventually leads to 2 main things:
- First they waste a lots of time with unproductive activities
- Secondly, they often feel overwhelmed with things when few of them have to be done in the same time. But of course it only happened because things were not planned out.
Here are some main characteristics of reactive and proactive people:
-
Proactive people don’t blame anyone or anything. Reactive people blame circumstances, conditions and conditioning.
-
Proactive people’s behavior is a product of their conscious choice based on values. Reactive people's behavior is a product of their conditions based on feelings.
-
Proactive people are still influenced by external stimulus, but their response is a value based choice. Reactive people build their lives around others emotions.
Certainly, there are times when it’s appropriate to be reactive. We have plenty of decisions to make in-the-moment. There are times when we need to be flexible and adapt to a rapidly changing environment. There are times when long-term plans must be abandoned in order to meet immediate needs. And there will always be those unavoidable roadblocks that even the most proactive person in the world would not have been able to foresee or avoid however, the ability to be proactive provides a clear advantage if you strive to improve any area of your life.
