Habit 1 - Be Proactive
For Adults:
Be Proactive is about taking responsibility for your life. You can't keep blaming everything on your parents or grandparents. Proactive people recognize that they are "response-able." They don't blame genetics, circumstances, conditions, or conditioning for their behavior. They know they choose their behavior. Reactive people, on the other hand, are often affected by their physical environment. They find external sources to blame for their behavior. If the weather is good, they feel good. If it isn't, it affects their attitude and performance, and they blame the weather. All of these external forces act as stimuli that we respond to. Between the stimulus and the response is your greatest power--you have the freedom to choose your response. One of the most important things you choose is what you say. Your language is a good indicator of how you see yourself. A proactive person uses proactive language--I can, I will, I prefer, etc. A reactive person uses reactive language--I can't, I have to, if only. Reactive people believe they are not responsible for what they say and do--they have no choice. (from https://www.stephencovey.com/7habits/7habits-habit1.php)
In Kid-Friendly Language: You're in Charge
I am in charge. I take initiative. I choose my actions, attitudes, and moods. I do not blame other for my wrong actions. I do the right thing without being asked, even when no one is looking. (from http://www.theleaderinme.org/the-7-habits-for-kids)
