What is Emotional Intelligence?

How do we get people to follow us, to follow the path we lay down for them? How do we keep our family, friends, and colleagues motivated? How do we make them want to give their best? It's easy, just start seeing things from their perspective. Yes, it's that easy! 

Talking is easy, but listening? Understanding? Reading body language? Reading what they're not directly telling you? Not so easy. So how do you get there? When you are able to comprehend your own thoughts and emotions and are able to empathize with others even when you don't completely relate, you are able to present yourself and your opinions more constructively while accounting for others' emotions

We have too many options for everything now, but how to we decide? What job to take, what books to read, what movie to watch, what place to be, oh my god! Let's take a breather and understand what we really want to spend our precious time doing.

There are just too many things in our lives. This generation is probably the most multitasking and productive one, but we need to learn where to stop before healthy excitement turns into stress

We tend to say things in anger that we might later regret, but there are no going backs now. We need to learn to be able to stop before we can never go back.

Being able to understand others' lives like it is your own is truly a skill that would improve the way we look at things leading to better conflict resolution and handling relationships

You being able to understand yourself and your own emotions is the biggest asset you will possess. It's not money, it's not your car, it's not even your whole life earnings. You can always get more of those. Self knowledge is your most precious asset. Learn it, practice it and teach it.

With Empathy, you will be able to understand where exactly you are going wrong and you can even help others understand how you can come to a middle ground and take everyone's needs and perspectives into consideration, including your own.

Once you start to see things from others' perspectives, it becomes a lot more easier to be able to understand how you can get closer and even if you should get closer. Being able to evaluate the intensity of every relationship will help you define them more accurately than ever.

We all tend to lose motivation when we don't see any real results for the amount of efforts we put in. Most of these times, we end up not even taking short term goals for short term results into consideration. We need to understand what motivates us, what drives us, and what pushes us to be the best version of ourselves.
