Emotional intelligence is the ability to identify and manage your own emotions and the emotions of others. You harness your emotions and apply them to tasks like thinking and problem solving. You know how to cheer yourself and others up and you never let things get the best of you. You don’t dwell in the past, nor do you worry too much about the future because you are living in the present and that is all you have to live by. You may forgive easily, but you will never forget and you will never allow anyone to limit your joy.
