Impulse is under the control of emotions.
Emotions don’t listen to reason or values/principles.
Reactive people are like a can of soda when life shakes them up a bit. The pressure builds up and suddenly it (the person) explodes.

4. Proactive people
Proactive people make choices based on values/principles. The think before they act. They can’t control the situation, BUT they can control what they do or say about the situation.
Proactive people are like shaking a water bottle. When you open it up, they are calm, cool and in control. There is no pressure, fizzing or bubbling like a can of soda.
