Emotional Intelligence, based on the Oxford Advanced American Dictionary, it is "The ability to understand your emotions and those of other people and to behave in an appropriate way in different situations."
Seems easy to grasp right? In reality a lot of us struggle to be in a positive mood when faced by personal biases of people. In a professional environment we can all tolerate tiny nuisances of personal biases. Those who we considered professionally educated know exactly how to handle this, but yet, they are the ones who seems to be more prone to include personal biases when they know they have power over someone.
In a world full of trauma, unresolved issues, emotionally immature people, always be mindful of what you say or do. As much as possible, when given an opportunity to make a difference in the lives of an individual, look inward and remind yourself to feed your consciously evolving nature and ditch your annoying ego. You can do this! I have high hopes for you. Turn negative reaction to a positive one and hope that, your actions will trickle down to a more accepting, loving, nurturing environment you always had hope for.
As to my own personal biases, here is what I have to say...
"We all need to master this so called "Emotional Intelligence". I have to say, this is part of evolution as a conscious individual. To master how to deal and control your own emotional intelligence. I have to admit, part of my personality is to ignore anyone that threatens my peace of mind. It's a good coping mechanism, especially when you deal with people's personal biases. Let's be honest, everyone try so hard everyday to consciously not be played by ego. I guess this is also part of my evolution, being mindful and consciously be aware that change needs to happen, thrive to grow into a higher version of yourself. "
Namaste Everyone!
