Proactive: serving to prepare for, intervene in, or control an expected occurrence or situation, especially a negative or challenging one; anticipatory. For most of us who are not controllers of significance, how can we be proactive? The definition magnifies ‘Negative or challenging situations’, which happen constantly in our go go, highly pressurized environments. Our proposal is that we make a habit of being positive and uplifting. This does not mean being silly and artificially happy, but raising your consciousness through self realization and being internally enthusiastic and able to transfer that emotion to others. This is not simple or easy as life throws obstacles at us constantly! As Nietszhe said, “If it doesn’t kill you, it makes you stronger!” We should accept potholes and roadblocks as educational since learning to avoid them makes us that much better humans..
