Emotional Excellence with God, Self & Others.
What does it mean to have emotional excellence? First lets talk about God. What many do to cover their shortcomings is to try to hide from God. Here is an idea, He created you and knows best how you should function and how your life can prosper as it is His desire to see you prosper. This concept brings many a negative response from some who have tried to prosper and simply have lost their way. Prosperity is defined many ways, lets just say that having a real relationship with your creator makes you highly advantaged. In the most simple of ways every thing you do is accounted for and in the end of your journey we will give an account for our stewardship of our life and how we related to others.
Secondly, lets consider our emotional excellence with ourselves. In relationships we sometimes want to hide how we feel and not let others know because they may either make fun of us or ignore our need. Living a life of emotional excellence does not mean having to share every single feeling with every single person, it does mean that in order for you to really have authentic relationship with key contributors it would be highly valuable to share what is really going on inside. Make sure you are kind to yourself and speak well of who you are. An example would be when you fail to meet an expectation, look at the good things you did and realize their significance. Focus on the positive of your contribution rather than the moment that things went south.
Finally, engage with others with confidence. Know that your contribution to their lives advances them and helps them to grow. Listen for opportunities to build up others and avoid tearing them down. When you notice something that is out of character try to consider them a works in progress and example emotional excellence to them. You will start to build long lasting relationships and attract people into your life.
People with Emotional Excellence are some of the greatest people on earth, and you are one of them!
