If our thoughts are about how insignificant, inferior, & unworthy we are, then we will interpret our emotions into feeling powerless, less-than, & invisible. How we see ourselves—our self-perception, informs our feelings, and how we see others and the world around us. These beliefs colour our worldview. How we respond to the moment is a direct reflection of how we feel about ourselves. A fulfilling life comes from understanding. Not judgment. EQ is about understanding. It's that simple.
