Be a light, not a judge, be a model not a critic. Little by little, your circle of influence will explode and you will avoid the emotional metastasizing cancers of complaining, criticizing, competing, comparing and cynicism, all which reflect victimization, all of which are the opposite of being proactive.

Look at the word responsibility-"response-ability"-the ability to choose your response. Highly proactive people recognize that responsibility. They do not blame circumstances, conditions, or conditioning for their behavior. Their behavior is a product of their own conscious choice, based on values, rather than a product of their conditions, based on feeling.
To achieve goals you've never achieved before, you need to start doing things you've never done before.
There are three constants in life... change, choice and principles.
I am not a product of my circumstances. I am a product of my decisions.

The key is not to prioritize what's on your schedule, but to schedule your priorities.
The problems in life come when we're sowing one thing and expecting to reap something entirely different.
Make small commitments and keep them. Be a light, not a judge. Be a model, not a critic. Be a part of the solution, not the problem.
Most people do not listen with the intent to understand; they listen with the intent to reply.
