A reaction is what happens when you don't intend to take action.
When you are under stress, you may try to maintain your composure, and maintain the status quo.
What happens when the situation reaches your breaking point?
That is when you failed to take the opportunity to Act.
Instead you React!
That is when you make disastrous mistakes.
To be proactive, consider early in this process what you want to do if the stressful situation continues. If you become unwilling or unable to maintain the status quo, what is the smartest course of action?
In the heat of the moment, or perhaps before it gets to the boiling point, you will have a plan.
The time most people think of that brilliant plan, is after the fact. You can change the course of your life, with this measure of self-control. Better to control yourself than let others be your master.
Remember Act, don't react!
