  4. Habit #1: Be Proactive Habit 1: is the key to unlocking all the other habits and that’s why it comes first. It says: • I am the Force • I am the Captain of my Life • I can choose my attitude • I am responsible for my own happiness (or unhappiness). • I am in the driver’s seat of my destiny (not a passenger).

Reactive • Reactive Choices • Forgive her • Confront her and calmly share how you feel • Ignore it and give her a second chance Proactive Choices • Tell her off, then hit her • Go into a deep depression • Decide she’s a two-faced liar and give her the silent treatment for 2 months • Spread vicious rumors about her

  9. Proactive Vs. Reactive Scenario #2: You have been working at your job in the store for over a year now and have been extremely committed and dependable. Three months ago, a new employee joined the crew. Recently, he was given the coveted Saturday afternoon shift, the shift you were hoping for.
