Way I see it in life you are either reacting to things as they happen or acting before they do. The later is a more ‘control’ approach in many sense. Many times in my life I could fall into either camp. As things come up you are forced to react to them, to act upon things then and there or defer - it’s how you deal with the known that impacts how well you can manage the unknown. You need to see some end to things and rewards otherwise life just becomes one drudge of fighting fires and dealing with panics.
