Of all the seven habits, be proactive was the one that stuck out
the most to me. With some parts of my life, I struggle with being proactive.
Sometimes I'm better at it than other times but it's something I can definitely
work on. When I'm excited to start something new, I'm very good at being
proactive, but when I hit that plateau that eventually arrives I struggle with
it.
In his talk, President Hinkley
talks about getting all the education you can. I struggle with continuing
my education sometimes. It’s a lot to handle when you’re already trying to work
full time. It’s tempting to just quit going to school and just work, but
President Hinkley reminded me that it’s important for us to get all of the
education we can now. This isn’t just important for us in the afterlife as we
are firmly taught by general authorities and in church curriculum; it is also
important for us now in this life. Anything good is from God and you never know
what bit of knowledge might come in handy later, especially as an entrepreneur.
I’m excited to start implementing this principle now. I want to
start practicing being proactive so that I can develop that habit now when I’m
young. I hope to learn more techniques to help me with this.
