React, respond, initaite

You have three choices when faced with a decision:

React. This is a physical impulse. No thinking, just raw emotions. This is the worst choice to make out of the three. When you are sick and you decide to go to the doctor, the doctor gives you a prescription. You come back the next day, not feeling better and the doctor says, "Bad news, your body is reacting to the treatment."

Respond. This is a better choice than reacting. You listen and decide on the best course of action. The doctor says "Good news, your body is responding to the treatment."

However, there is a third alternative and that is to initiate. Initiating is having others respond (or react). This is equivalent to taking care of your body and avoiding the doctor's office all together.
