Be Proactive. Not Reactive.
One of the habit highly effective people have is being proactive.
“We are what we repeatedly do.
Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.”
— Aristotle
A lot of people define themselves with the opinion and perception of people around us. I know a lot of us have been told
“You’re never on time.”
“Why can’t you ever keep your things in order?”
“You must be an artist!”
“You eat like a horse!”
“I can’t believe you won!”
“This is so simple. Why can’t you understand?”
These opinions of people about you are more often projections then reflections. And that’s why you are you afraid to make a mistake even though we learn from the. That’s why you’re afraid to be in front of a group. You feel terribly guilty if you make a mistake because you “remember” the rejection, the comparison with somebody else when you didn’t perform as well as expected.
Do not let opinions of others define you.
