Humans are adherent to habits. We like to have habits because they are easy-to-recognize standards of conduct. The simple is nice. However, not all of our daily attitudes are worth repeating, harmful habits are also easy to practice, leading to a decrease in our quality of life.
It is obvious that there is a big difference between being passive and proactive, passive people tend to react to everything that happens to them in life, but if our intention is to have a different attitude, we must not allow everything around us to affect us. us, because, as human beings we are, we ourselves make a difference in this world when we change things and circumstances or, better yet, when we have begun to create a reality that did not exist before.
- Proactive people are characterized by constant action and decision-making.
- Instead of saying.
- “It happened to me and I have to accept it.
- ” they think.
- “I’m there.
- But if I want to.
- I can decide to be somewhere else.
- “The differences between a proactive and a passive person can be summarized in one word: action.
Chances are that the only thing that separates us from success is our ability to decide what we want to do with our lives and, in general, the biggest limitations we have are our own fears, so it is important to wonder if the obstacles we encounter along the way are not exactly what we face.
There is a fundamental principle that will help us change our perspective: we must realize that we have enormous freedom: freedom to decide, freedom to act, freedom to be.
Failure is very common in life; however, they usually teach us the importance of doing it right, not failing. Did you know that humanity’s great achievements have been achieved through a huge number of failures that have paid off?Did you know that people like Michael Jordan or Bill Gates know failure long before they succeed?
The important thing is to overcome failure and continue to try, when our goal is more important than all the failures we accumulate, we will have managed to overcome this common fear.
We need to learn to focus on solutions, not problems. Like bad habits, activities that bring something beneficial to our lives can be incorporated if we do them consistently. For example, if you know you need to be physically active but you can’t go to the gym, keep insisting until it stops being a nuisance and becomes something usual, necessary and even pleasant, to make you feel good the same day. During the day.
If you are afraid to travel, you can start by taking small tours in your city. A good idea is to plan on weekends in nearby villages; And even more challenging, make a list of all the places you’d like to visit. Travelling is a habit that can bring us great satisfaction. It’s just a matter of taking action and starting to do it.
If you don’t like your job, think of something you’d like to do, is it hard to imagine something like that?Just as Chris Gardner, who lived in the bathroom of a train station, became a billionaire, you can get a job that will earn you better rewards if you strive to do it.
Our culture drives us to think more about the future than our present. One way or another, we constantly believe that the best of our lives is coming. This misperception of time leads us to reduce the value of the present moment. We change this idea on a daily basis, our quality of life can improve considerably. The perfect time to start something is the day we live today.
