Proactive Vs. Reactive

I’ve been a little quiet over here because I’m still processing and trying to get my bearings. Opening up this app feels like information overload right now - and that’s not to say what’s being posted isn’t helpful or creative or uplifting or worth reading - I just haven’t felt ready to take part.

You know, not allowing conditions or circumstances to dictate my response but instead taking the time to pause and then choose how I want to respond to the conditions and circumstances.

I’ve been thinking a lot about being proactive vs. reactive. You know, not allowing conditions or circumstances to dictate my response but instead taking the time to pause and then choose how I want to respond to the conditions and circumstances. So I’m here, sitting in that pause, considering how we might make it through the next little while.

Hope you’re all taking care, making smart choices, and looking for the good. In this together, just not together.
