Steven covey's 7 habits of highly effective people?

his first habit is meant to be empowering. in reality, the truth is much closer to what you describe. this very first habit is probably the hardest and i notice it is a constant trait of highly successful people. He emphasizes being proactive and I notice that many first borns and only children tend to think and choose for others. Since I was the youngest of 3 I relied on my siblings alot and now that I am grown I am forced to think pro-actively which can be hard to do because I am not in the habit of it. If you try to make your own choice and make a HABIT of it, you will see that it becomes easier.
