Write a brief essay addressing the topic of “developing and maintaining creative tension in our lives” (p. 124).

Write a brief essay addressing the topic of “developing and maintaining creative tension in our lives” (p. 124). Personal mastery is the self-leadership discipline of lifelong learning. Senge (1990) argues the essence of this practice is “learning how to generate and sustain creative tension in our lives” (p. 124). Creative tension is the product of two important self-development practices, first, “continuously clarifying what is important to us” and second, “continuously learning how to see current reality more clearly” (p. 141). Personal mastery is not a place where we arrive, but rather a continuous process, a lifelong discipline of taking responsibility for our personal learning and growth. Your paper body (Content) will include four parts, based on an autobiographical method of professional learning inquiry known as currere (Pinar, 1975)[1], which explores the experiences giving shape to a person’s self-understanding and life’s work. We will also use Scharmer’s (2018) Theory-U to structure this inquiry process as four reflective movements, including (a) the past, (b) the future, (c) an analysis, and (d) a synthesis for the future.
