Living Life in Triangles

Living in Triangles
A triangle is a term that is familiar to those who are familiar with systems theory.  Triangles are neutral within themselves that is to say they are neither good nor bad.  This is also true for many things in life.  Triangles occur when anxiety exists between two individuals and they incorporate a third party to release the anxiety.  Triangles can take the form of:
·         An affair whether emotional or sexual
·         Gossiping
·         Or even a prayer request
·         Mediating conflict between two individuals (conflict resolution)
Triangles are unavoidable most times so the key is to recognize them show you can navigate through them effectively.  So how does one know if a triangle is good?  So glad you asked:
·         If the triangle has to be hidden then it is not a beneficial triangle
·         If the triangle doesn’t lead to the edifying of the kingdom then it is not a beneficial triangle
·         If the triangle causes more harm than good then it is not a beneficial triangle
Here is a triangle that is always beneficial.  You + Anxiety + God = a successful triangle.  Why because God is the only one who is truly able to do something about your anxiety any way.  So try to avoid negative triangles and seek God’s wisdom for those you can’t avoid.
Scripture Reference:  1 Thess. 5:11
