Proactive vs Reactive

Today it was pointed out to me that I have been reactive instead of proactive.

I'm wonderful at surviving emergencies. I am the best reactor in the world.  Ask anyone, I'm better than any nuclear reactor! I'm Reactor Woman! (Yet another awesome superpower.)

But I spend too much of my life in a state of reaction or recovery.

I enjoy the fact that I am adaptive. Because of my talents, I function in a crisis better than anyone I know. But today this wise friend pointed out that if I was more proactive, I wouldn't have to use my Super Reactive Skillz quite so much.

Today I am grateful for wise friends who know me and for the opportunity to put this bit of wisdom into practice.
