We are looking at the 6 conditions of the conscience, your co-perceiver (Ancient Olympian’s 6th Sense), and today we finish up with a TENDER Conscience.

Tender means, in the case of the Ancient Olympian, that one must be willing or ready to yield to the influence of the conscience (the Inner Peak Performer).  To achieve Peak Performance we must be mentally tough enough to be sensitive to our intuition.  We must not be rigid or obstinate when our spidey-sense goes off.  This is where having purged ourselves of being manipulated by guilt comes into play.  We must be flexible enough to not feel bad about changing the course of action in mid-stream if our conscience tells us to change course.  The truth is that I’d probably be dead, many times over, if I was rigid and obstinate when I got new warnings from my conscience.  This is especially true during my days as a street cop in Spartanburg, SC, answering 911 calls, with my nearest backup at least 30 minutes away.  Without being tender and sensitive to my spidey-sense, reacting instantly to the hair on the back of my neck standing up, I’d be writing this from the clouds.

That’s some extreme stuff, but what about in a business deal, buying a car or some real estate, or even getting into a really bad and abusive relationship?  If we are tender to our consciences, we will begin to detect the warning signs early on, and if we are bold enough to make a course correction, we can avoid a lot of heart ache.

Boo yah!
