If the wind will not serve, take to the oars. ~ Latin Proverb

So you are out in your sailboat and you have zero wind. You have less than zero wind I mean it feels like you are in a vacuum. What do you do? Do you stand there like an idiot with your sails out waiting and praying for some wind. Or do you look down below find some oars and start paddling away? This is the difference between being reactive and proactive.When you react you are at the mercy of your situation, when you are proactive you are the one in control.

As you might have guessed this is one of the differences that separates those that are successful and those that are merely average. Just look at Paris Hilton. When her then unauthorized sex tape was released she initially reacted by trying to fight it but then quickly changed her tune. That tape propelled her into a new level of fame and she still receives profits from it today.

Today’s Action: Be proactive. Take action and watch the world react to you. Be a proponent of change. Go out and create your own opportunities. Today do your own thing.
