Emotional Congruency

March 21, 2016

I attended a meeting on leadership principles.  In this meeting I was asked to come up to the front of the room with 2 other people.  While at the front of the room two of us were asked to grab the arms of the third person, one on one side and the second on the other.  I obediently grabbed onto the left arm of this man.  We were then asked to pull which we did.

 

Pointing to the man in the middle the speaker made this point.  He stated that we all represented the man the middle being pulled in two different directions.  He stated that we need to resist and remain on track and focussed, and have a constant battle within ourselves in order to make good choices.

 

Obviously he was talking about the conflict that exists between the conscious mind and the unconscious man.  In religion it is referred to as the conflict between good and evil.  The conflict between God and the devil.  The conflict between light and darkness.  The natural man and the spiritual man.

 

What if we reached a point in our minds and hearts in which there was no internal conflict?  What if we arrived at a place in which we were free, really FREE?

 

Well as I was standing there I realised that he was describing a condition that I had not felt in several months.  I am sure that there is still incongruence in my life, however each morning I awake and prime myself to be at my best.  I constantly expect the best of myself and in doing so I feel that my personal congruency is such, that there is no internal conflict
