The Importance of Emotional Intelligence

By Yassmine Aref Gadalla

 Many people are not completely aware how important emotional intelligence is in their lives. We attempt to read many books and articles about this matter just for the knowledge, but we ignore the fact that if we apply emotional intelligence in our daily life and work, it could lead us to somewhere else that we never expected.

How to Beat Your Shyness

Shyness is one of those things that is cute in babies and small children but can hold us back as we grow older. It can stop us approaching people we'd like to meet or even hold us back at work. We all suffer from shyness occasionally but if it's your default mode it's worth tackling it head on.

Often shyness is linked to our self image - how we portray ourselves in our minds. Which is often totally unrelated to how other people perceive us but that's another issue completely!

If you are always thinking of yourself as a quiet person, that's not going to help matters. But, equally, it's unlikely that simply trying to change your thoughts will have much effect either.

I Lost My Job, But I Found My Purpose

Often purpose can be hidden in the midst of pain, but many times if it was not for the pain we would not have had an opportunity to discover, and activate our purpose. 

I was blessed to find my purpose as a result of losing my corporate job due to downsizing. I never imagined that there was a bigger plan that God had for my life outside of working my corporate job. 

I was happy working my job, but deep inside I always felt like there was more, I felt like something was missing. 

Small Steps Lead to Big Changes Over Time

Every single big goal you have can be broken down into a series of small steps.

This is the essence of self improvement: finding the small steps you can take now that will lead to big changes over time.

I've been practicing self improvement for almost 10 years now. Today, I look back on all the changes I've made and I can barely recognize who I once was.

But this change didn't happen overnight. It was slow, gradual, and it had many ups and downs.

In the moment, the goals and obstacles in our lives can seem very scary and daunting. This is why it's important to identify the small steps you can begin taking today that will eventually lead to those goals being accomplished.

Achieving Divine Feminine Success In A Masculine World

As I talk to clients this month about their aspirations for the New Year, I am reminded of how crucial life balance really is. Particularly balancing the masculine way of getting things done with feminine energies.

Complimenting the masculine way of getting things done (running life by our calendars, deadlines and 12 hour work days) with a strong dose of feminine energies (listening to our intuition, connecting from the heart, nurturing ourselves) creates a strong personal foundation.

I mean how can we possibly expect to achieve great results - in any area of life - if we do not first have a strong personal foundation?

Don't you agree?

Everyone Can Win, But Who Wants To Put In The Effort

Life takes very little skill really, but lots of effort, when you win. 

Some of the most skilled people are genuinely less than their potential because they sweat too much of the small details. 

The big picture or puzzle put together is greater than the sum of its parts alone. Another thing, patient effort is greater than quick "getting it done now", always. If it was not greater than quick getting it done now, then nothing would take effort, and winning would not be a bigger accomplishment to people than losing.

Persistence Leads To Success: 3 Great Tips to Help You Keep Going

All of us are seeking success in our lives. That's a good thing. If you want to improve your life and attain your goals, then you need to strengthen your power of persistence. Everyone has a persistent streak inside of them. The problem is that this streak is not as powerful as you had hoped for. If you find that your persistence diminishes fairly quickly, there is still hope for you!

One Man's Success Is Not Another's

How do you define success?

 Each of us have personal needs, perspectives, backgrounds, ethics, morals, priorities, and self image, that are major factors in our personal perception of success.

 Although what being successful differs, often widely, from individual to individual, some factors that are often brought up include: financial; peace of mind, and happiness; self - confidence; personal pride; and self - satisfaction.

 Perhaps the only essential and consistent component or necessity of becoming successful is that you are able to truly feel good about your motivations, behaviors, actions, and what you actually do. Defining success must not be a generalized concept, but is, in reality, one of the most personal of concepts and behaviors.
