Thank you God for the gift of having Emotional Intelligence

What are you grateful for? Too many headlines with doom and gloom. Society needs relief not more what is not working. For me, I continually search for better ways to help others through their challenges and to learn ways to manage those difficult times. When I was struggling in my teens and in my 40's, the anger, frustration and emptiness I felt at times was not what I wanted. When I felt energetic, loving what I was doing and doing something purposeful, I wanted more of this. Life has challenges however we don't want them to sink us like the Titanic, we want to feel empowered, feel fulfilled and have the ability to rise stronger out of difficult situations.

Reading "Emotional Intelligence" BY Daniel Goleman provides powerful words of insight to IQ and EQ. There are people smarter than me however my EQ is strong. Salovey ( 14), with his colleague John Mayer, offered an elaborated definition of emotional intelligence.

The book is full of information that can MAKE A DIFFERENCE for child, youth and adult.
