🔴 vs 🟢 Are You Reacting or Creating Your Life?
There are two ways people go through life: Low Agency and High Agency.
Low Agency (Red Box) means you react to whatever happens, follow other people's rules, and let life happen to you.
High Agency (Green Box) means you take charge, make things happen, and don't wait for permission.
