One of the most powerful things you
can do is increase your congruence.
This is one of those things that's easy
to talk about, but hard to measure or
even define.
It basically comes down to how much
of "you" is on board with your actions
or words.
Like if you said something you really
didn't believe, most people would
know.
One clear sign of incongruence is body
language.
We all know the signs.
Crossed arms, crossed legs, not
making eye contact.
If you've got kids, you can spot a lie a
mile a way.
But a deeper incongruence is when we
"think" we believe something, but we
really don't.
At least not on all levels.
It's like when we say something, we're
trying to convince ourselves just as
much as everybody else.
However, when you DO develop a
large amount of inner congruence, it's
like the gates of heaven open up.
People not only believe every word
you say, but they agree with you, and
will follow you to the ends of the
earth.
Cult leaders are notorious for this kind
of thing.
They say and do the craziest stuff, that
on paper would look absolutely
ridiculous.
But when they say it, they are so
congruent, and they believe it on ALL
levels, it sounds like the most obvious
and natural thing there is.
The truth about us humans is we are
EASILY swayed by somebody who
believes something with all their heart,
REGARDLESS of what the content of
the message is.
Throw in some social proof, and it's
literally impossible to resist.
Of course, like any other tool, this can
be used for good, or for evil.
You can lead people to massive
happiness and self-expression, or lead
them off a cliff.
You can lead people to generate real
and lasting change in their own lives,
and the lives of all around them, or
you could easily con them out of their
life's savings.
I'm sure you've seen examples of both.
Luckily, we all get a choice.
A choice of not only which skills to
learn, but how we decide to use them.
