Living Inside Out

"Anytime we think the problem is "out there," that thought is the problem. We empower what's "out there" to control us. The change paradigm is "outside-in" -what's out there has to change before we change.

The proactive approach is to change to the "inside-out": to be different, and by being different, to effect positive change in what's out there - I can be more resourceful, I can be more diligent, I can be more creative, I can be more cooperative."
