Episode Description
Proactive people are value driven. They are still influenced by external stimuli (physical, social, or psychological) but their response is a value-based choice or response. They believe they are responsible for their own lives and our behavior is a function of our decisions, not our conditions. "The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People" by Stephen R. Covey
