At peace with the thinking, not always with the thought. The lizard brain generates emotions that are not immediately subject to reason.
Emotion-action often leads to undesirable behavior, independently of our control and without our understanding.
Therefore, it’s of the highest importance to recognize the issue at hand.
Intelligence restrains the worst of our emotions and potential wrong actions. We aim for a reserved response.
Stoic in our appeal, we successfully pause. We even set aside time or reflection. Listening closely with an intense examination, we stem the tide of self-destruction.
Quick on our feet, even quicker in perspective. Don’t meet rudeness with rudeness — there are many failed attempts along the way.
Emotional intelligence is a skill that fortifies holistic thinking and tames collisions of thought.
