The Proactive Approach

Be proactive, plan, learn and grow.

“The proactive approach to a mistake is to acknowledge it instantly, correct and learn from it.”
~Stephen Covey

Planning takes time and effort. But, if we want to learn, grow and improve, we must plan for the future.

Obviously there are many types of planning, but in it’s simplest form, we must plan on being ready when things happen.

When we form the habit of being proactive, and learning from our mistakes, we can create positive change in our lives.

Stephen Covey wrote extensively about habits in his best selling book, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.

We all make mistakes, what’s important is that we learn from them. Being proactive means we anticipate and plan our response.

Planning in advance gives you confidence. Not that you anticipate problems, but you’re prepared when they arise.

The old cliche about Murphy’s Law, “If it can go wrong, it will.” has validity, so it’s best to prepare.

Mistakes are natural and a great way to learn. Keep learning!
