the 7 habits of highly effective people - part 5

Habit 1 - Be Proactive

Where do we focus our time and energy?
We have a Circle of Influence (things we can do something about) and a Circle of Concern (out of our control).

Do you know someone like this:
"Their focus results in blaming and accusing attitudes, reactive language, and increased feelings of victimization.  The negative energy generated by that focus, combined with neglect in areas they could do something about, causes their Circle of Influence to shrink."

This is a reactive person who focuses in the Circle of Concern.

I encourage comments or questions as reading for me stimulates the mind more than anything.
