Life Law No 5

According to Dr Phil, people do what works. At some level or the other we do things because they work, i.e we associate some kind of payoff to every behaviour, even negative ones. Some of the payoffs may not be easily identified, they may be unacknowledged, even denied, but they no doubt shape and control our behaviour.

So bottom line: find the payoff- manage or control the behaviour. Life is managed not cured.
