  4. Habit #1: Be Proactive Habit 1: is the key to unlocking all the other habits and that’s why it comes first. It says: • I am the Force • I am the Captain of my Life • I can choose my attitude • I am responsible for my own happiness (or unhappiness). • I am in the driver’s seat of my destiny (not a passenger).
