Know your own preferences

Being proactive is a habit and a discipline that can be developed.

Some people are naturally big picture thinkers and easily get in the green.

However, these people also need to ensure they invest time in the blue and manage the red.

Those who aren’t as suited to big picture thinking are usually more comfortable in the blue and are challenged to get into green activities.

This is why it's important to know your own preferences, strengths and weaknesses.

Don’t let your weaknesses let you down – do something about them.

And always look to harness the power of your strengths and passions.
