Is it possible to be too intense … too focused?

Two weeks ago I talked about the importance of confidence … being congruent.

This was about maintaining my confidence when dealing with others … maintaining my congruence … not letting the negativity … doubt … from others to bring me down.

What I realized last night is that I have gotten two intense.

I’ve been too focused … too serious.

It’s like I built this wall … to keep out the negativity … preventing me from feeling anxiety.

Unfortunately … this wall also started to keep out the fun … I became too serious for my own good.

I realized … actually someone pointed it out (thanks Linda) … that I seemed really intense.

It was then that I understood that for me … congruence is about focus … which has a certain intensity … that allows me to be at the top of my game.

But what I also realized … is that there is a greater level of congruence available to me … pushing the edge of my current congruence … all by adding one simple element.

What is this missing element?

Playfulness … yes playfulness.

By adding a simple dash of playfulness … everything lightens up … and you can bring yourself up to that next level.

It’s amazing how … just by being a focused fool … that the whole world opens up to you.

And what an amazing element to bring along … when you push past that edge … when you make that leap … and begin that freefall to freedom.
