“Love life and life will love you back. Love people and they will love you back.”

My first book of self-help fiction, titled “The Voyage”, was about how to learn to live life from the inside-out vs. the outside-in. Several people, after reading the book, asked me what I meant by that concept. I would have thought that reading the book would have made it abundantly clear –
Inside-out means taking responsibility for the quality of your life: i.e., its successes, failures, achievements, outcomes, risks, happiness, financial position, lifestyle, relationships, etc. People who live outside-in turn the responsibility for their happiness, success, failures, etc., over to someone or something outside of themselves. They blame the weather, the government, their spouse, the economy, their company or organization, where they live, their parents – the list goes on and on.
Question
Are you living inside-out or outside-in?
