Life Law #3: People do what works.

I’m currently reading the book “Life Strategies: Doing What Works, Doing What Matters” by Dr. Phil. Today’s chapter dove into the third Life Law which is “People do what works.”

The idea is that people continue behaviors, whether deemed good or bad, because at some level it works for them. Some people might smoke 2 packs of cigarettes a day, knowing it’s unhealthy, but they get some type of positive feedback. We know we won’t get positive feedback from touching a hot stove, so we never do it again. But we find that behaviors done over and over again, even when we beat ourselves up afterwards, are continued because on some level, they work.

My challenge for you today is to discover the “negative” activities you’re doing repetitively that don’t move you forward and search for the positive payoff you’re searching for from those activities. The more you can call yourself on your own bullshit, the more personal growth you will experience.

Here’s to Day 18/75 Days of Podcasting and Day 19/75 Hard!

It’s never easy, but we can do hard things!
