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.

The way to feel better about your own situation is to improve someone else's circumstances.

I’m just another memory in a box in the closet collecting dust. I’m just another promise that you broke when we broke up. I’m just another old flame. We were burning hot until we burned out.
