Have you ever felt the numbness or the void of life, no matter how well your life flows. The high profiled job you do, your professional achievements, the great education you have had, the society you are in, the activities you do as routine, sometimes doesn’t seem to make any sense. No matter how much of a busy life you may have, the void fills in somehow. It has kept me thinking, does any of this matter.. The way we dress, way we talk, what we do, it all boils down to nothing in the end.
I have been meditating since I was young. It has been my passion to understand dharma, to life a better lay life and to make the journey to enlighten my self ( nirvana), shorter. As a step towards the path of dharma, its best if one can live their lay life with emotional intelligence. If you are wondering what emotional intelligence is, it can be described as the ability to identify, assess, manage and control the emotions of one's self and of others. Having the know-how of your emotions can help you gain the control of the day today activities and keep you in control.
What is known in Theravada Buddhism as the right mindfulness ( in the Noble Eightfold Path) is the base of emotional intelligence. Make an effort to be emotionally intelligent and it will pay off a great deal in achieving the goals of your life.
