Proactive vs Reactive Thinking

An American consultant was at the pier of a
small coastal Mexican village when a small
boat with just one fisherman docked. Inside
the small boat were several large Yellowfin
Tuna. The American complimented the
Mexican on the quality of his fish and asked
how long it took to catch them…

5.

The Mexican replied, “Only a little while.”
The American then asked, “Why don’t you
stay out longer and catch more fish?
The Mexican said, “Well, I catch enough to
feed my family.”…

6.

Instead of selling your catch to a middleman
you would sell directly to the processor,
eventually opening your own cannery. You
would control the product, processing and
distribution. You would need to leave this
small coastal fishing village and move to
Mexico City, then LA and eventually NYC
where you will run your expanding
enterprise.”…

7.

The American scoffed, “I am a Harvard
graduate and could help you with a new
Business Plan. You should spend more time
fishing and with the proceeds, buy a bigger
boat with the proceeds from the bigger boat
you could buy several boats eventually you
would have a fleet of fishing boats.

8.

The Mexican fisherman asked, “But senor,
how long will this all take?”
To which the American replied, “15-20 years
to realize the business plan.”
“But what then, senor?”…

9.

The American laughed and said, “That’s the
best part. When the time is right you would
announce an IPO and sell your company
stock to the public and become very rich,
you would make millions.”
“Millions, senor? Then what?”…

10.

The American said, “Then you would retire.
Move to a small coastal fishing village where
you would sleep late, fish a little, play with
your kids, take siesta with your wife, stroll to
the village in the evenings where you could
sip wine and play your guitar with your
amigos.”…

Larry is on his deathbed and his son comes
to visit him for the last time.
Daddy, what can I
do for you?

13.

Sam, what’s your
Mama doing?

14.

She’s in the kitchen
making a big pot of
gumbo!”

15.

Larry managed to say,
Go get me a bowl
of gumbo, son.

16.

The daughter leaves and comes back…
Mama says the
gumbo is for after
the funeral.

Stars shining bright above you
Night breezes seem to whisper
"I love you"
Birds singing in the sycamore trees
Dream a little dream of me

20.

Say nighty night and kiss me
Just hold me tight and
tell me you’ll miss me
While I'm alone and blue as can be
Dream a little dream of me

21.

Stars fading but I linger on dear
Still craving your kiss
I'm longing to linger till dawn dear
Just saying this

22.

Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you
Sweet dreams that leave
all worries behind you
But in your dreams whatever they be
Dream a little dream of me

23.

Stars fading but I linger on dear
Still craving your kiss
I'm longing to linger till dawn dear
Just saying this

“If you’re proactive, you don’t have to wait
for circumstances or other people to create
perspective expanding experiences. You can
consciously create your own.”
—Stephen Covey
Proactivity is, according to Stephen Covey,
one of the most important characteristics of
successful and personally effective people.

Proactivity is the act of taking charge of your
life, being responsible for it, and taking
action to master your life. Choice is a
principle that underlies proactivity, as we
ultimately have the choice to how we
respond to what happens to us in our lives
and it is our reactions that determine how
things affect us.

People who lack the proactivity habit tend to
be more reactive, seeing themselves as
victims of circumstance, unable to change
their reactions, thus feeling much less
empowered. People who play the game of
“tit for tat” in an argument are being reactive.

They are reacting to what the other person
is saying rather than being grounded and
more rational where they take responsibility
for their emotional triggers. The mentality
that “he makes me so mad” or “she made
me feel bad about myself” are examples of
the victim language.

Differentiate between the “have’s” and the
“be’s.” The latter focuses on your character
and how you can take charge of your life.
Instead of focusing on the thought “If I had a
better job,” a proactive person would focus
on thoughts like “I can be more resourceful
to find another job or make the best of this
one.”

Proactive Takeaways:
Remember the importance of being
proactive and not reactive!
If you feel like a rudderless boat which is in
chaotic motion without you taking charge at
the helm, remind yourself that you can take
the helm and can be the captain of your
ship.

Enlist support. Do not hesitate to seek
support from others in sticking to your plans.
Just because you are the captain of your life
does not mean that you need to go it alone.
It’s always nice to have crew!
Plan ways to manage your time and do not
spread yourself too thin! Do not let your time
divide you – you can divide your time.

So, if you find yourself having a hard time
taking your power back from others, how
about spending some quiet time and writing
down at least three “have” phrases and
transform them into “be” phrases? As you
become stronger about your own sense of
empowerment, you will find yourself growing
by leaps and bounds.
