18. Be Proactive

21 Habits of Happy People

18. Be Proactive - “Accept what can not be changed. Happy people don’t waste energy on circumstances beyond their control. Accept your limitations as a human being. Determine how you can take control by creating the outcome you desire – rather than waiting to respond.”

The dictionary describes proactive as tending to initiate change rather than reacting to events. When you are a gardener, as I am, you plan, you imagine and you take your shovel out and initiate change.

I have always found there was great wisdom in gardening and believe that we should teach our children to garden too. Not only do we learn to be proactive but we learn that, in the garden growth happens even if we do not see it. We must care for our seedling and water it and provide a proper environment to create the outcome we desire. So in life, we must do the same. Plan, imagine, dream, then take action to create the desired outcome. Weed things out when required. Fertilize if needed. Basically in the garden, if things get off to a good start they will evolve in the desired direction.

So be proactive in the garden of your life. Plan, imagine, dream and take action towards your creation. Start with creating the day you want every morning and see where you zeal takes you. Love and light!

Namaste!
