They don't blame genetics, circumstances, conditions or conditioning for their behavior. They know to choose their behavior. Reactive people, on the other hand, are often affected by their physical environment. They find external sources to blame for their behavior. If the weather is good, they feel good.

However, there is no better way of using this time and energy. Practice being present in the moment. When you catch yourself drifting away, bring your mind gently into the present.  Remember th...
