They tell me I'm crazy, but You told me I'm golden.

I often times wonder if I am a little too kind to my friends. Is there such a thing?

Regardless the type of work you do and how amiable you are as a person, I can almost guarantee that you will eventually be in a situation where you have to work with someone you don’t like. It could be a coworker at your job, an employee or team member of a client, the manager of a business, or a teacher.

The dynamics may change, but the factors that comprise the interpersonal relationship are the same across all situations, and when animosity enters the mix it can be a challenge to keep the relationship civil and productive. This is where emotional intelligence comes into play.

Here are some actions you can take to develop your emotional intelligence so all of your relationships, including the difficult ones, are more productive.
  • Look at yourself honestly and commit to specific areas of self-improvement.
  • Think through the possible impact of your words before you speak.
  • Avoid judging the actions of others before you have all of the facts.
  • Be accountable for what you do and follow through on what you say you will do.
  • Listen to opposing viewpoints and admit when you are wrong.
  • Praise others and give credit where credit is due.
  • Analyze your common emotions in times of stress, and work to control them.
  • Be consistently and genuinely respectful.
  • Curb negative thoughts and work to foster optimism.
  • Work at becoming a better listener.
  • Agree to disagree with those who have incompatible beliefs.

We have the infinite capacity to recieve and an infinite capacity to love. All too often we fail to acknowledge the  light that has been instilled in us. When we don’t see our gift, our true self, we become desperate to take love from others in an attempt to satisfy our needs. You and every other person on this planet are inextricably linked, we are all parts of the same body.  Just as you cannot cut off your own hand and spare the rest of your body the repercussions, you cannot withhold your love from one another without affecting the whole of humanity. 

We’ve been duped into believing that our actions toward others have no impact upon the world at large. Wrong! Not only do interactions between two people contribute to the state of the world, each interaction totally and completely transforms the world! But it’s difficult to detect this global makeover because everyone else’s actions are also transforming the planet at every moment. The state of the world is merely the sum total of human interaction. Be aware with complete conviction that our efforts are changing the entire world in that one moment.
