Being proactive requires a paradigm shift: you need to abstract the stimulus and find out how it relates to your life and situation. Then you are free to chose the response.
Act or be acted upon: you choose if you want to act or be acted upon.
Language is important to distinguish between proactivism and reactivism. It shows how someone responds to circumstances.
### Circle of Influence vs. Circle of Concern
The circle of Concern: defines what you are concerned about.
The circle of influence: is what you can actually influence.
Proactive people focus on the circle of influence. What can they influence? Because everything else is not worthwhile to pursue.
Problems can be of different nature:
- direct control: private victories - this is in your realm of possibility
- Indirect control: public victories - you need to influence other people for putting indirect control
- No control: a proactive person acknowledges this and accepts the problem to be able to live with it
A proactive person approaches every problem with this distinction
