you! you! you! me, myself and I...

Emotional intelligence (EQ) has remained a buzz word for many years now. Having a high EQ means that you have the ability to disern what is going on in the inside of self, how you are feeling as well as being sensitive to how others may be feeling. There are also various types of intelligences such as naturalist, existential, musical, bodily, mathematical, visual, interpersonal and intrapersonal ( this is where EQ fits in). Talking about EQ someone who is being judged by an intelligence that they are not proficient in may result in them feeling frustrated. It is important that each person develops EQ for personal development but also because IQ is taking more of a backseat in determining ones success. All the while a mathematically intelligent man remains highly respected by his female counter part it only makes up 20% of what determines his success (along with luck and other factors).

Emotional intelligence will guide one to distinguishing the root of frustration and the ability to deal with it. Frustration can be born from unidentified intelligences. Let me back up here, perhaps your family are all accountants. You on the other hand are the multi coloured unicorn and you have been judged on your ability to apply formulas, bring order etc. The multi coloured unicorn is going to feel incompetent and useless. Through EQ the unicorn may be aware of the current frustration levels that are going through the roof into the candy floss skies... um I mean consistently ascending on the graph in appendix 1.

Through experimentation the unicorn may be aware of glee when s/he invisions and paints what is in the minds eye ( visual intelligence).

EQ can be a useful tool in not only being sensitive to people but also loving and caring for oneself.

In conclusion and conjunction to what I've been rambling on about : do what you enjoy! Do what makes you happy! Chances are you'll be good at it if you enjoy it!!! That's why I'm here tapping on this screen writing to you. I just did what I love and it feels good. 

love,
me.
myself.
and I.

(all happiness this side, how about you?).
