Developing Emotional Intelligence - How important is it.

By

 

We have got a lot of emotions in us.  We are not saints or sages not to have them right? Even if we are at the age of 25 or 45 or 65, we have got the remainder of life to make it pleasant. We all know that it is very difficult, rather not possible to change the attitude of others unless they wish to, but we can change our own attitude towards them by overcoming our emotions. Is this small logic not sufficient to make ourselves super pleasant and peaceful? It becomes our own responsibility to make the remainder of our life beautiful. Yeah, taking a few steps, we can absolutely fill our normal life with pleasantness and thus peacefulness. 


It is very important for us to identify what emotions we are dominated with. It may be from the list of positive emotions that give pleasure while experiencing love, joy, satisfaction, interest, contentment, gratitude etc.? Or it may be from the list of negative emotions that give unpleasant feelings while experiencing fear, hatred, anger, resentment, sadness, loneliness, annoyance etc.? We need to understand one important thing: sometimes the negative emotions encourage us to act accordingly, and help us grow and develop. We need to experience the negative emotion but not stay with it for a long time. It is here we need to make ourselves more intelligent in dealing with it. IS IT SO EASY TO overcome the negative emotions? No, It is difficult but not unachievable. Only when we start taking steps towards it, do we change our perception.   


Some of you who are reading this may be stuck with some of those negative emotions. If not dealt with, you go deeper into it and get hurt more.

Learn, Unlearn, Relearn

  Learn, Unlearn, Relearn We might have heard alot about how important it is to be a consistent learner for being successful. But; Just not learning; it is in fact very important to unlearn and relearn. Unlearning is the secret sauce of personal growth. It clears space for new perspectives, ideas, and skills. When we embrace it, we can find ourselves evolving faster than ever. In this learning process, being agile and authentic has its own significance and makes us different from others. If we could be like a curious little child, we can absorb things and learn from anything, anyone, anywhere and anytime. Examples: [Projector teaches us to cast our ideas and goals onto a larger screen of life. It shares our visions, enlightening others and projecting a positive impact. Just like adjusting focus on a projector, clarity in our goals is key to a successful outcome.] [Lizards remind us of adaptability. They can change color to blend in or stand out, showcasing the importance of adjusting t

Threads of Freedom: Explorations by friends

By
  Meenakshi started reading a book “Freedom from the Known” authored by J Krishnamurti to understand his writings. The author had a great philosophical view, very skilled at expressing complex ideas. She enjoyed reading the book. Being free from whatever knowledge you have gathered, and all your experiences is the theme of the book. ‘Freedom’ is what caught her attention. She felt authors do not hold a monopoly on defining freedom. Everyone’s life journey contributes to their understanding of freedom. Freedom is a deeply personal and subjective concept, and it can be defined and understood differently by various individuals. So, she thought her school friends who are in early 40s can provide valuable insights into what freedom means based on their accumulated knowledge and life experiences. She believed the friends’ collective wisdom can offer a rich and relatable perspective on this profound concept. As the group of friends continued their quest to explore the various facets of free

The light from Diya - to  burn the negativity, to get purified, to find path towards goodness and to glow.

By
The duality of devil and divine exists in everyone. You should nurture the divine within you through self-awareness and get rid of the devil completely through self-reflection and self-purification. If the devil dominates the divine and if you allow negativity to overpower your inherent goodness, it destroys the beautiful inner garden. When you are on the devil side, don't ask where the divine is. It is just inside you. Self-introspect. Without Self-introspection, you may remain unaware of the root causes of your negativity. It can lead to a cycle of repeating negative patterns if you don’t understand and address them. Mind gets programmed due to the cycle of negative thoughts, actions, patterns and attracts negative energy. Self-awareness is a key to breaking this cycle, as it allows you to recognize, and challenge negative thoughts and behaviours, fostering personal growth and a more positive mindset. Along with self-awareness, self-improvement is very much important, developing
