THE SEVEN HABITS OF HIGHLY EFFECTIVE PEOPLE
Habit 1: ____________.
Being proactive means consciously bringing about positive change
__ your life and __ the lives of others. It is the habit of knowing where
you are going __ life, having a strong sense of what is important __ the
long run, and using your everyday actions to bring this about. Being
proactive is the opposite of being reactive: your mood is not determined by
how you slept, or whether you have a job, or whether your girlfriend or
boyfriend is __ a good mood, or whether or not whether your kids are
behaving, or whether you do or don’t believe __ this or that God; it is
determined by your inner compass, an inner direction which you have
consciously cultivated over a long period of time and have made an integral
part of the way you go about each day, respond to each event, and treat each person __ your life.
