David Allen, creator of Getting Things Done, talks about moving from reactive to proactive. He uses a sailboat metaphor: grabbing the helm during storms means taking responsibility for how you handle life's challenges instead of staying a victim.

Do that, should I do that, should I not do that, should I not do that, do what I need to.
Do now, and.
Being conscious about the.
Process of.
How do I engage with my life in a conscious way.
So I'm in the.
Driver'S seat, not.
In the victim seat. That's the shift.
So you.
You, you, you might feel like you're the victim of life coming at you.
But, you.
Know, I've been on, I.
Had a sailboat for a couple of.
Years, and I was the.
Victim of.
Storms and.
Surf and weird.
Things I didn't expect.
But I needed to grab hold of.
The helm and.
Make sure I then.
Managed that well. So it doesn't.
Make life easy. It just means you need to make sure you're in the driver's.

What life is throwing to you.
