Quotes by Steve Prentice (?)

“When we react, we are not seeking to control a situation but merely to protect our existence within that situation. If, by contrast, you seek to control or change that situation, especially when it’s to your benefit, then you are no longer reacting. You are proacting.”

“realize that they might have a chance to step forward from the recesses of the brain and express themselves. Thoughts that might save time, create new opportunities, or generally do good things—they’re all in there. But every time they try to make themselves known, they’re brushed aside by another fast-moving “immediacy.” These ideas find little opportunity to make themselves known in our busy world, and collectively we run the risk of losing them forever.”
