Patterned Interactions: Part I

As we look for patterns, it will help us to understand that we have a patterned way of interacting with the world too. The next three days we will explore three different ways we primarily relate to the world around us. Here is option one:

This group focuses on results. They love getting things done. They thrive on doing!

They are comfortable with assertiveness and can express themselves; they are comfortable with anger. Others often feel that this group is intimidating or is personally against them.

Despite their aggressive ways, they fear not being loved or failing. They are future focused. They like stirring the pot and making things happen. At their best, they are creative, productive and positive. But in weakness they are insensitive to the needs and feelings of others, which hurts their intimate relationships. Imagine this group impaired and losing their creative mojo and capacity to succeed! One word description? Aggressive.

Do people ever tell you that you are too pushy? Too intimidating? Have you ever had to reel yourself in for the sake of getting along? You just might be a person who is comfortable moving against people you think get in your way.

Notice, as you look at your patterns, if this is true for you. Remember, this is not a bad thing. It is just a thing.

Not you? Tomorrow we will look at a different way of being in the world.
