The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People

Habit 1: Be proactive

"Habit 1 is the key to unlocking all the other habits and that's why it comes first. It says, "I am the captain of my life. I can choose my attitude. I'm responsible for my own happiness or unhappiness. I am in the driver's seat of my destiny, not just a passenger." 

Being proactive is a really important thing to be. Being proactive is important because it means you will take responsibility for your life and the actions you do in it. Proactive people make choices based on values and they think before they act. There are ways in which being proactive can save you time and money. It helps with self improvement and self awareness. You also have a piece of mind, meaning that you are happy where you are and where you are going being you have an idea of what is coming. Another small example would be easier to sleep at night when you have a plan for the morning.
