My understanding of Proactivity, Positive thinking, R and I

-
In the book "7 Habits of Highly Effective People" by Stephen R. Covey, proactivity and positive thinking are two distinct concepts. Proactivity means taking charge of your actions and choices. It's about being in control of your life and not letting external circumstances or other people determine how you respond to situations. Proactive people understand that they can choose their responses and take responsibility for their decisions. On the other hand, positive thinking is about maintaining a hopeful and optimistic outlook. It's about looking for the good in situations and believing that things can improve. While positivity is essential, it's not enough on its own. Proactivity goes a step further by encouraging you to take action and make positive changes in your life. 

The concept of "R" and "I" stands for Resourcefulness and Initiative. Resourcefulness means finding creative solutions to challenges and making the most of the resources available to you. It's about thinking outside the box and finding innovative ways to overcome obstacles. Initiative, on the other hand, is about taking the first step and being proactive in pursuing your goals. It means not waiting for someone else to tell you what to do but taking the initiative to make things happen. Together, resourcefulness and initiative are essential qualities for personal and professional effectiveness, as they empower you to overcome challenges and achieve your objectives.

My Life time Resolution.

The start of a new year feels so momentous: 365 brand-new days, with no mistakes in them. There's so much opportunity: opportunities to live up to our full potential, to make extra effort, to repair bonds with family and friends. I set personal goals to reform my bad habits, to complete my assignments on time, to always be honest to myself, to help others as much as possible and so on. This year I only kept one resolution, that is to overcome Cynophobia . To me Dogs are monsters. I don't know why I am afraid of them but I find them frightening and unpredictable. It's not that I hate them, I tried to Love them, go near them, in fact I brought Dogs whenever I gifted anyone especially this year. Dogs are plenty in Bhutan, where ever we go and people don't give damn, and i think my phobia is ridiculous... I set this as my resolution this year but its almost end of the year now, I am still the same. I've already failed my this year's resolution and i guess...

Remembering Bygone Days I.

 The past four years were the most indelible moments of my life. When I first joined college in 2009, four years sounded like eternity. I would often wonder, When will the training period end? What am I going to do in such a long time? Or am I gonna go out of here a little older and a little taller? (hehe) Now it’s already 2013 and I am out of there. Looking back now and answering the questions I used to ask myself, those four years passed me without even a warning notice. I learned many things and I am loaded with lots of unforgettable carefree memories. The only sad thing is I am still the same little Dechen both in height and size, haha. The days were as tough as drinking a cup of tea. Others say “not as easy as drinking a cup of tea” but I say TOUGH because drinking a cup of tea to me is not an easy task. One will end up burning one’s mouth if one didn’t check if it’s hot, or the tea would not be tasty if it cooled too much. We need to know when and how to drink the tea ...

Becoming a mother

Becoming a mother is the most satisfactory and greatest thing I have done in my whole life. It was such a natural feeling for me. I was quite nervous but it all went very smoothly. Not to forget the kindness and support I got from the doctors in welcoming our sweet baby in this world. I would like to thank the Gynecologist, Dr. Sonam Gyamtsho  of  Mongar Regional Referral Hospital  and his team for taking care of us (me and my son). I thank you so much for the experienced care and support you provided me during the delivery of our precious son Thuksel. My life savior- Gynecologist Sonam Gyamtsho From the very beginning, through my troubles to the assisted delivery and the care afterwards, you have been kind, gentle and compassionate. Bumthang Hospital diagnosed my baby to be breech and therefore I was referred to Mongar. After staying at Mongar for almost a month the final day arrived. I was playing Candy Crush in Tshering's Phone when my labor pain started at ar...
