MY THURSDAY THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK - I’ve discovered that when it comes to individual’s reactions to life circumstances, people, adversity, opportunities, etc. there are two types of people inside-out and outside-in. Let me explain with two examples. No one - You are on your way to an important appointment and you get a flat tire. An outside-in person starts blaming the road, the tire, the weather, the whatever. While in blame mode they also start whining, complaining and even screaming at whatever or whoever. An inside-out person just starts changing the tire. No two - A peer received a promotion that you felt you deserved. How do you think the outside-in person reacted? The inside-out person? Who do you think lives longer? Who do you think is more successful? Who do you think tends to be happier?  Which one do you think you are? If you asked some close friends or relatives which one would they say you are? Know any outside -in people? Like being around them? Listening to them? Know any inside-out people? Learned any valuable lessons from them? Look forward to spending more time with them? If you are an outside-in person - I’ll wager you don’t like or agree with this concept. If you are an inside-out person - I’ll wager you wish the article were a bit longer. Go figure.
