8 . In order to grow and be better than before , you must learn to be emotionally intelligent. Here are some strategies to help you become emotionally mature!
You cannot change others. Everyone else is entitled to their own beliefs and opinions. It is completely normal. Keeping that in mind, it is better if you understand that you cannot change others, no matter how hard you try. Even if you try changing others and their feelings, you will only be hurting yourself in the process.
People interact with us like we are mind readers sometimes.
It is necessary to take responsibility for your actions. Just like your words, you need to take full responsibility for your actions. Many people make silly excuses and don’t take responsibility for their actions. That is where they hurt others and themselves.
A.You need to mind whatever you do. |
B.You are known by the company you keep. |
C.Just as you try to be a mind reader, others expect so. |
D.The best course of action would be to change yourself. |
E.Whenever you feel something like that, cut ties with them. |
F.Your partner would want you to know exactly what they want. |
G.If you make a mistake and affect others negatively, apologize immediately. |
