Quote: Emotional Intelligence in 2012

“This is the year to make a disciplined effort to be conscious of, not only our actions, but our emotions. In this long term practice, we must be disciplined and aware of  our emotional and spiritual state of being. It’s surprising how conscious we are of our social behavior; we wouldn’t sit at a table and belch and be inappropriate, yet when it comes to our mental state, we let ourselves do all sorts of sloppy things. We assume that nobody pays attention to the emotional state we inhabit, or that our personal emotions won’t affect others.  We get lazy in our state of consciousness and sometimes let our negative emotions get the best of us. This matters immensely because our emotional state sets up the foundation of who we are and the type of energy we emit. Therefore,  we must constantly observe ourselves on an emotional and spiritual basis as if the whole world was watching.” – Emanuel Kuntzelman
