Almost every child has heard this warning: ‘If you don’t do xyz, something bad will happen.’ Though it may be effective in the short run, it’s not an appropriate motivator. Unless you work to release yourself from this dysfunctional method of discipline, you’ll spend your whole life running from rather than to. You’ll do things because you fear the consequences. This has a tragic impact on the way you feel about life. There’s a strategy that’s much more effective than using the stick to get what you want…
The carrot.
