6 Ways to be a Proactive Person
4. Have a problem solving attitude
A big difference between proactive people and ordinary people is that of attitude. Proactive people look at problems as opportunities and look forward to solve them. When they encounter a problem, they don’t waste time blaming their circumstances and acting victimized. Whether you are able to solve the problem or not, the attitude that you have towards it will make all the difference.
5. Take charge of your emotions and feelings
Feelings and emotions have a significant role in determining how proactive you can become in life. For example, is someone passes a snide comment, you have two options of reacting to it. You can either retaliate in anger and a fight can ensue. Or you can ignore it and think of the actions that you can take which will help you to emerge as the stronger person without causing any negativity. Proactive people use their emotions as a tool to enhance their own motives. They don’t let emotions come in the way of their progress or happiness.
6. Use imagination and creativity
If you are wondering what role imagination and creativity can play in being proactive, think again. All the above mentioned methods entail some amount of creativity. You can think of alternative methods of approaching a problem or have a problem solving attitude only if you have the capacity to think out of the box. You can take charge of your life and shape its course only if you have imagined a certain type of life for yourself.
