“When little people are overwhelmed by big emotions, it’s our job to share our calm, not to join their chaos.” – L.R. Knost

We, adults are ourselves so emotionally messed up that we often fail to pay attention to what our children are going through. Kids have their own emotional and psychological struggles to fight. It’s our duty to prepare them to be mentally strong for the tough times that they may have to encounter in their life.

Maya Angelou has very rightly said, “You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them.” This is exactly what emotional intelligence is all about. We all have different personalities and hence, display our emotions differently. Emotional intelligence is the ability to be aware of one’s own emotions together with acknowledging the feelings of others. Developing emotional intelligence therefore becomes important for both personal and professional success.

There will be times when you are left  struggling with your own feelings of anguish, remorse and guilt. But, how often do you forgive those who sin against you? It is a question that each one of us need to ask ourselves once in a while. It takes courage to forgive those who hurt us and not many of us have that courage within us.
