The Powerful Frequency of Emotions
Why Degrees Mean Nothing Without the Mastery of Emotional Intelligence
I used to blow things out of proportion during heated moments over the slightest differences with people around me. I would make irrational decisions because of anger, and I ruined relationships because of misunderstandings. My older brother used to correct me a lot and criticized me often. I took it personal and started attacking him. Everything escalated. I ended up hating him and cutting off all communication. We became enemies over misunderstandings — no calls, no texts, not a single word. The silent treatment lasted for a long time. Emotions have ruined many relationships, jobs, and opportunities for me.
Until I realized my emotions were at the helm of my life. I decided I am not going to be ruled by emotions anymore. I sent my emotions to the school of hard knocks. They had to go through serious classes of maturity, stability, rationality, and calmness. I educated them to interpret every challenge as an angel sent from heaven to heal, adjust, regulate, and fix neglected areas of my life that require my attention. They went through a tough military training of calmness and resilience in challenging times within this school of hard knocks.
