Appropriate Tension

Growth usually feels risky. The feeling is a protection mechanism, a way to avoid failure or even the fear of failure.

Of course, risk also feels risky (or at least it should). Differentiating between the two is difficult, which is why finding institutions, methods or coaches that have experience in the difference is valuable.

When we create the conditions for supported tension–the feeling of ‘this might not work’–we give people the chance to grow.

My comments: We have become more and more transactional in our lives to protect ourselves.  This leads to mediocrity and increased risk aversion.  This is a good reminder of why relationships are important and provide opportunities for growth.  The power of relationships cannot be overstated.
