This is the first habit because every other habit depends on our ability to act proactively rather than reactively\u2014to make things happen rather than waiting for them to happen.<\/p>\n<p>One of the key ideas in this habit is that we have the freedom to choose our response. When things happen to us, we get to decide whether to focus on what we can change or to get stuck waiting, complaining, and worrying.<\/p>\n<p>One of the most important indicators of whether we\u2019re responding proactively or reactively is the language we use. When we use proactive language we say things like \u201cI can\u201d or \u201cI get to.\u201d When we use reactive language we say things like \u201cI can\u2019t\u201d or \u201cI have to.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When we use consistent, proactive language it affirms our capacity to choose and reflects and reinforces a proactive approach to life.<\/p>\n                \n            \n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <span class=\"animated-line\"><\/span>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<section class=\"block block-image-with-text\">\n    <div class=\"uk-flex uk-justify-sb has-background\">\n                    <div class=\"it-text\">\n                <h2 class=\"heading\">The Circle of Influence<\/h2>                <p>When we\u2019re proactive, we focus our efforts on our Circle of Influence\u00ae.
