You have to think a little smarter, be proactive, not reactive.

I am reactive.

I think so many people are reactive... they see things in a short term way they're right up against it.

My number one thing to work on is not being reactive - but appropriateness doesn't come easily to me sometimes.

Reactive people... are often affected by their physical environment. They find external sources to blame for their behavior.

The bottom line is: You are in control of your reactions to things and how you view things.

I've got an overactive, analytical brain. I get frustrated, impatient, angry with myself. I swear at myself a lot.

Rational behavior requires theory. Reactive behavior requires only reflex action.

I learned long ago to focus on things you can control and don't even pay attention to things you don't.

I tend to have this perverse reaction to authority and stress: I become more confident and clear when a challenge is enormous.
