How can we become more Proactive?

2/4/2021

 

Reactive
 
The bell rings and
the dog salivates.
Waiting for the next
piece of food to arrive.
 
Just because
there is a stimulus,
doesn’t mean that
there has to be a response.
 
Just because
someone says something,
doesn’t mean that
you have to answer.
 
Just because
something happens,
doesn’t mean that
you have to act.
 
Just because your phone pings.
Just because an email arrives.
Just because the time says so.
Just because social media keeps talking.
 
It is when we stop being controlled
by external activities,
that we can begin to listen
to internal whispers.

PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT EXERCISE. ​
1. How do you invest your time?
2. Who or what can controls your behaviour at times?
3. What might you say 'no response' to?
