Emotional - EQ


Emotions, I believe is the essence of who we are in a deep way. Our emotions can not be denied or escape. It becomes truly who we are. Emotions are what drives us into different direction and help us make decisions.
Being aware and understanding our own emotion is what gives us Emotional Intelligence (EQ). Some people are just born with a high EQ and other has to learn it. Sometimes it could all be related to our own soul (Old vs New, previous blog). Most Old Souls have a high EQ. Understanding and learning from your emotions can provide you with much personal growth and understand of the world around you. We are all emotional being, and learning how to express it and deal with it is what I believe is all about personal growth.
I sometime think that failed marriages or relationship is due to incompatibility of EQ. When you are out of balance in this area it creates a mis-understanding of each other which creates resentment.
As emotional being we need but are not confined to, a desire for love, intimacy, affection, kindness, acceptance, respect, dependability, autonomy, emotional support and empathy.

EQ offers tremendous practical application in all major part of our lives. A touch of EQ at the right time can mean the difference between conflict and cooperation, understanding and disagreement, closeness and distance, love and hate, violence and non-violence, and ultimately, war and peace.
