Posts where this quotation is embeddedMany people have not really experienced even a moderate degree of synergy in their family life or in other interactions.
They’ve been trained and scripted into defensive and protective communications or into believing that life and other people can’t be trusted.
This represents one of the great tragedies and wastes in life, because so much potential remains untapped – completely undeveloped and unused.
Ineffective people live day after day with unused potential.
They experience synergy only in small, peripheral ways in their lives.
