How is That Working for You? (By Dr. Phil in The Oprah magazine; January, 2014).

“Imagine seeing someone facing a wall and just banging his or her head against it, over and over. The wall is not moving and his/her head is turning into a ‘hamburger’… yet, the person keeps banging. You’d think he/she is nuts, right?

That’s exactly what you’re doing when you make bad choices and then keep making them…

It’s possible that you’re a ‘rights’ fighters’…one of those people who spend far too much energy convincing the rest of the world that they are right (in their roles as parents, in their relationships and at work even when they are often dead wrong)…

These insecure people are too fragile (emotionally) to ask themselves how things are working for them, because they might not like the answers one bit. It might mean making a change or admitting they have been (dare I say it) WRONG…

Doing what works (in your life) requires insight and courage; it’s easier to keep doing exactly what you’ve done before. Getting out of your comfort zone can be frightening…”

(But maybe, it’s time for you to do a review of your choices).

Take a look in the mirror and ask yourself…‘How is that working for me?’”


HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
