If you monitor yourself for a day or so, you will come to this conclusion: We tend to spend a disproportionate amount of our lives on changing other people's attitudes, opinions, and behaviour patterns instead of focusing on our own lives and shortcomings.
How do you feel when others try to influence you, impose their viewpoint, or even correct you?
For almost everybody, our immediate reaction is to go on the defensive.
It is so easy to point out others' errors or weaknesses and then try to correct them. But that won't improve their lives or help them reach their full potential.
This is best accomplished by you demonstrating what a fulfilled, happy life means and how you achieved this yourself by a little discipline, positive self-talk and a good belief system.
Take time for personal development by looking at how you can improve your habits.
Yes! You do have time to do this. Even if it's one minute a day, it will add up.
When you can show others how it has changed your life, you have a better chance of the other person wanting it.
To achieve this state of emotional intelligence, do this. Stop trying to change other people by telling them how to do things. Instead, lead by example and start changing your life for the better by working on your weaknesses and faults. Then, you will be able to help others.
