As You Begin To Think More In

The 'inside-out' Approach To Personal And Interpersonal Effectiveness Means To Start First With Self; Even More Fundamentally, To Start With The Most Inside Part Of Self, With Your Paradigms, Your Character, And Your Motives. The Inside-out Approach Says That Private Victories Precede Public Victories, That Making And Keeping Promises To Ourselves Recedes Making And Keeping Promises To Others. It Says It Is Futile To Put Personality Ahead Of Character, To Try To Improve Relationships With Others Before Improving Ourselves.

Strategy Is Important, But Trust Is The Hidden Variable. On Paper You Can Have Clarity Around Your Objectives, But In A Low-trust Environment, Your Strategy Won't Be Executed.

When We Succumb To Believing That We Are Victims Of Our Circumstances And Yield To The Plight Of Determinism, We Lose Hope, We Lose Drive, And We Settle Into Resignation And Stagnation.

If We Keep Doing What We're Doing, We're Going To Keep Getting What We're Getting.

We All Go Through Stages. Concerns About Appearances, Making Good Impressions, Being Popular, Comparing Yourself To Others, Having Unbridled Ambition, Wanting To Make Money, Striving To Be Recognized And Noticed And Trying To Establish Yourself, All Fade As Your Responsibilities And Character Grow.
