Understand the feelings

Why do some people succeed? Why do other people with high IQ end up working for others who have a lower one, but who know how to connect, influence and relate better?
The answer lies in the emotions and in the ability to understand and manage them. They hinder or favor the ability to:

• Think and plan
• Carry out entertainment with respect to a distant goal
• Solve problems and conflicts

Thus, they define the limit of the capacity to use innate mental abilities and determine the performance of a person in life.

Emotional intelligence is the ability to handle one's and others' feelings and emotions, to discriminate between them and to use this information to guide thought and action.

Know and accept

Self-knowledge implies a series of steps to follow in order to be able to recognize oneself without losing sight of the daily obstacles.

• 1: Feel: learn to recognize one's sensitivity. Search the feelings, develop an emotional vocabulary that helps change the path. Evaluate the intensity of each emotion and handle the reactions identifying appropriate ways to express them to be useful in daily, family and professional life.

• 2: Development and action: define how to act to get the best of yourself, your colleagues, work and personal relationships.

• 3: Self-acceptance: most people tend to minimize their skills and achievements too easily. However, keep in mind that if you value yourself and value your abilities, others will too. Anything you do to improve the concept you have about your own person, will be in your favor
