"People grow through experience if they meet life honestly and
courageously. That is how character is built."

What are Proactive Answers?
Proactive answers are answers to life's challenges using methods
that encourage self-determination, self-care, and self-worth.
A proactive answer requires:
|
1) A realistic assessment of a problem
| |
|
2) A vision of a healthy, positive outcome
|
|
|
3) Motivation to pursue this vision
|
|
|
4) A workable plan for achieving it
|
|
|
5) Honest evaluation about whether you are following through
|
|
Proactive answers are better than "reactive answers," or
answers shaped solely by external events and
other people. With reactive answers,
you may feel buffeted from situation to situation, from person
to person. Such answers offer little sense of personal control,
direction, or effectiveness.
Proactive answers require work, discipline, and investment, but
will also reward you: they will replenish your sense of control,
direction, effectiveness, and self.
