Being proactive means anticipating problems, seeking new solutions and doing your best. Being proactive and acting promptly are essential attributes of successful people. To be proactive, you will need to plan for potential problems, solve problems instead of dwelling on them, prioritize more effectively, and assess your current method of tackling tasks to make improvements.

A proactive parent is gentle but firm, flexible yet consistent, empathetic but unwavering. He recognizes and respects where his rights and responsibilities end and where his children’s begin and through his expectations and responses, teaches his children to do the same. A proactive parent is willing to forgo present thanks and pleasure for future rewards. He recognizes that today’s trials lead to tomorrow’s triumphs, both for himself and his children.

Some of the quotes about being proactive and acting promptly are;

• ‘’Action is the foundational key for all success.”– Pablo Picasso
• “Knowing is not enough. We must apply. Willing is not enough. We must do.”– Bruce Lee
• Whatever you can do, or dream you can do, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it. Begin it now.” William Hutchison Murray
• “People who end up with the good jobs are the proactive ones who are solutions to problems, not problems themselves, who seize the initiative to do whatever is necessary to get the job done.”– Stephen R. Covey
