Biology, behaviorism, and cognition are all interrelated!
Biology maybe something that we don't control directly, but we can control (encourage) it indirectly through our implicit and explicit actions: our outlooks (cognition) are implicit actions and our behaviors (behaviorism) are explicit actions.
Cognition puts control (not a binary one or zero, but a continuation of influence) of our life back into our hands.
Our outlooks affect our behaviors, and our behaviors influence our biology (through processes that neuroscientists call Long-term Potentiation or LTP), which, in-turn, affects all three.
We build who we become, through our actions.
What? We, simultaneously, don't control AND do control our life (lives) in various ways?
Yes!
