Being Proactive

Lately I’ve learned valuable lessons about being proactive. Is this a new buzzword? Or have I simply been sleeping. It’s probably one of those “been around” practices, but new name for it.

What is it? Well, according to wikipedia.org – To be proactive is to act before a situation becomes a source of confrontation or crisis. It is, however, often criticized, perhaps aptly, as not being proper, as “active” encompasses the concept entirely.

The Merriam Webster definition http://www.webster.com/dictionary/proactive states acting in anticipation of future problems, needs, or changes. Now that’s what I’m talking about. Ask yourself, the next time you find it difficult to hold your emotion about a certain topic.
