Things that I learned this week: That being proactive have lots of facets. First the ability we have to become self-aware. To be separate from our emotions and even our thoughts. Then learning from Victor Frankl - that between stimulus and response there is a option for us to make a choice. Then I really loved learning more about proactive language and just being able to frame the way you speak in a new way from phrases like, I have to, I can't , I must to more proactive language like I choose, I will, I prefer. I really like understanding more about the difference between our circle of concern and our circle of influence. Proactive people concentrate more about where they can make a difference in their circle of influence. Places like your family, your community and especially yourself. Then I also loved learning that proactive people work on things they can change about their character, I can be more patient, or I can be more wise or more thoughtful, whereas people who are more reactive think, When I have my house paid off, then I can be happy or If only I had a more patient husband or more obedient kids. I also that love is a verb that's fruit is love the feeling. Then learning that making and keeping commitments to ourselves and to others builds our integrity and honor.
