Jay Shaw argues that identity works like a thermostat, regulating your actions and outcomes. Most problems in relationships, money, and behavior stem from who you believe you are, not willpower or circumstances.

It's it's an idea. Every problem that you have could be traced back to your identity. It's not a marriage problem; it's an identity problem. It's not a money problem; it's an identity problem. It's not that there are no more good men left; there's no more good women left. It's an identity problem. You cannot have anything that your current identity doesn't feel comfortable holding. You will sabotage. You will blow it up. You will look through it like a window. You will oversleep. You will miss the meeting. You will put your foot in your mouth. You will say the wrong thing at the right time. To ensure that you stay within your identity. Your identity is like a thermostat.
