Habit 1- Be proactive

I'm re-reading 7 habits of highly effective people by Stephen R Covey. Just finished on Habit 1.

Be proactive.
It should be inside-out.
Responsibility means 'response-ability'.
Between stimulus and response, man has the freedom to choose.
You are what you choose to be.
Focus on your circle of influence, not your circle of concern.
Focus on the 'be'.
