Proactivity: The 30-Day Test
We don't have to go through the death camp experience of Frankl to recognize and 
develop our own proactivity. It is in the ordinary events of every day that we develop the 
proactive capacity to handle the extraordinary pressures of life. It's how we make and 
keep commitments, how we handle a traffic jam, how we respond to an irate customer or 
a disobedient child. It's how we view our problems and where we focus our energies. It's 
the language we use.
I would challenge you to test the principle of proactivity for 30 days. Simply try it and see 
what happens. For 30 days work only in your Circle of Influence. Make small 
commitments and keep them. Be a light, not a judge. Be a model, not a critic. Be part of 
the solution, not part of the problem.
Try it in your marriage, in your family, in your job. Don't argue for other people's 
weaknesses. Don't argue for your own. When you make a mistake, admit it, correct it, 
and learn from it -immediately. Don't get into a blaming, accusing mode. Work on things 
you have control over. Work on you. On be.
Look at the weaknesses of others with compassion, not accusation. It's not what they're 
not doing or should be doing that's the issue. The issue is your own chosen response to 
the situation and what you should be doing. If you start to think the problem is "out 
there," stop yourself. That thought is the problem.
People who exercise their embryonic freedom day after day will, little by little, expand 
that freedom. People who do not will find that it withers until they are literally "being 
lived." They are acting out the scripts written by parents, associates, and society.
We are responsible for our own effectiveness, for our own happiness, and ultimately, I 
would say, for most of our circumstances.
Samuel Johnson observed: "The fountain of content must spring up in the mind, and he 
who hath so little knowledge of human nature as to seek happiness by changing anything 
but his own disposition, will waste his life in fruitless efforts and multiply the grief he 
proposes to remove."
51


Knowing that we are responsible -- "response-able" -- is fundamental to effectiveness and 
to every other habit of effectiveness we will discuss.
