Proactive Living

Proactive living is 'life on purpose'. This differs from reactive living, which is 'life in response to others'. A part of every day must be reserved for doing purposeful things. Build your own unique life story.

Here's what the movies have to say about proactive living.

"Start fresh."

“You got a dream, you got to protect it. People can't do something themselves, they want to tell you that you can't do it. You want something? Go get it. Period.”

“I don't want to be a product of my environment, I want my environment to be a product of me.”

"It's easy to know what you’re against, quite an honor to know what you are for.”

“There's an Apache story about a man that woke up one morning and saw a hawk on the wind. He walked outside and never returned. After he died he met his wife in the spirit world. She asked him why he never came home. He said "Well, the hawk kept flying. There's always the next something, Maggie, and that will take a man away.””

“There is no such thing as a mistake. There are things you do, and things you don't do.”

“I think we can't go around measuring our goodness by what we don't do, by what we deny ourselves, what we resist, and who we exclude. I think we've got to measure goodness by what we embrace, what we create, and who we include.”

“I only believed in forgetting until Mary taught me how to turn the pages of my own life.”

“There's a difference between knowing the path and walking the path.”

“Our job is improving the quality of life not just delaying death.”
