Proactive vs Reactive Thinking

Слайд 4An 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…

Слайд 5The 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.”…

Слайд 6Instead 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.”…

Слайд 7The 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.

Слайд 8The 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?”…

Слайд 9The 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?”…

Слайд 10The 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.”…

other people to create perspective expanding experiences. You can consciously create your own.”

Слайд 35Proactivity 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.

Слайд 38People 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.

Слайд 41They 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.

Слайд 47Differentiate 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.”

Слайд 53Write a specific action plan, whether it be a checklist, schedule,

or chart in which you reward yourself for sticking to your goals.
Replace “Have” thoughts with “Be” thoughts – For example: The thought “If I had a better boss” can be changed to “I can “be” a more effective employee.

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.

Слайд 59So, 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.
