If your emotional abilities aren’t in hand, if you don’t have self-awareness, if you are not able to manage your distressing emotions, if you can’t have empathy and have effective relationships, then no matter how smart you are, you are not going to get very far.
– Daniel Goleman
We often take it for granted: If no one complains, we think everything is running well in our lives, especially with our relationships.
We often hurt those who love us the most because of our irresponsible behaviour. We’ll need to pay attention to them.
The wealth you’re creating is meaningful if you have peace of mind. It’s related to relationships.
We live in a complex world where we don’t understand the person next to us. Most of the time, heuristics and biases sail the ship of our life. We don’t make an effort to act responsibly by analyzing the facts. We don’t invest the time to look deep into people’s hearts to see what’s running in their heads.
We formally talk with others and never seriously attempt to enquire about their anxieties and confusions. Reason; we don’t have time. We’re busy people working hard to create a fortune for us.
Please give it a thought. What will we do with our wealth if we have no peace of mind because there will be no one to share her feelings and emotions with us?
Do you think we’ll become mechanical robots to achieve a goal?
Indeed, we’ll gain everything we dream about, but in the journey, we’ll lose those who love us the most, not superficially but with heart.
Can we risk losing our loved ones by disrespecting their feelings and emotions?
If not, then invest a little time in integrating your relationships. Involve yourself with feelings and try to understand their emotions. Please don’t become a dry person, heartless and apathetic.
The World doesn’t care whether you live or die, but some live and die for you. Never disappoint them. They don’t seek anything from you except your attention.
Can’t you give a little of your priceless time to them?
