The set of external circumstances and other people daily influence human life. At the same time some after all manage to be successful, and others go down stream as a certain type of thinking and behavior became their habit.
Reactive thinking
The person who thinks reaktivno is inclined to perceive the world around, circumstances and events as the reason, and himself - as a result. He does not live, life happens to him. When something goes not in the best way, he feels as the victim, but especially does not try to change a situation as does not believe that it in its forces, or it simply does not come to its mind. Instead he adapts to circumstances.
Often at such people a low self-assessment. They will always find justifications to explain why at them something did not turn out. Fears and uncertainty do not allow them to take the responsibility. If someone points to the person with reactive thinking to a successful solution which disturbs him long ago, he will find a heap of pretexts why this decision does not suit it.
The situation is aggravated with the fact that such behavior is actually favorable to the person. It allows it to remain within the zone of comfort whereas an opportunity to change habitual course of action causes in it panic and fear of uncertainty. In fact it is comfortable to it to continue to live as always, and pity to themselves and removal from themselves of responsibility help to get rid of sense of guilt and experiences about the missed opportunities.
Proactive thinking
The person conceiving proactively perceives himself as creator and creator, and life - as the creation and result of the efforts. He is not inclined to shift responsibility to other people and circumstances, to complain and indulge in sufferings. He tries to find a way out of difficult situations most without serious consequences for himself. He acts effectively, active actions at him prevail over heart-searching and experiences because of obstacles. Even if efforts of the person with proactive thinking did not result in the necessary result because of force of circumstances, he tries to achieve the objective again, or draws conclusions, learns lessons and begins to work on the new purposes according to the changed conditions. He understands that even if cannot influence a situation, he chooses as he treats it - to suffer and feel sorry for itself or to focus on something more useful. As a rule, people with proactive thinking and behavior try to obtain in life much bigger, than people with reactive. Often they receive even more, than planned as they do not spend time for nothing and notice favorable opportunities.
