When it comes to acquiring or trying to develop a skill, I have always looked at different aspects of my life first before trying to pick one but of course, there are exceptions. The #marchinleo asked us a question, If you could instantly master one skill, what would it be and why? I’m someone who is a position where I have to relate with so many people and I have to be in my best behavior as much as possible so I don’t be in a place to cause anyone or myself pain.
If I could instantly master a skill, it has to be Emotional intelligence. This is a skill that helps us know the emotions of people (ourselves included) at different times and being able to use this knowledge to guide our actions and theirs afterwards. Personally, I know there are days when my emotions just seems to be all over the place and I’m reminded once again that I’m lacking so much in the aspect of emotional intelligence. I can hardly manage my emotions on some days not to even talk of managing other’s emotions.
So, if there is one skill I’d wish to master instantly it would be Emotional Intelligence because it will help me in different aspects of my life, as a friend, daughter, sibling, wife, mother, colleague, worker and most essentially as a human being. Knowing the different state of emotions of myself and others, it will help me to judge a lot of things better than I’m doing and that will automatically improve my relationship with people. I know when to be angry, when to be happy, when to commend someone, when to tell them they didn’t do well and encourage them to do better.
Being a master at emotional intelligence will give me a better approach to building better relationships, sustaining them and building a better partnership with people. It will also help me to always be in a good state of mind and know just exactly when and when not to act knowing fully well what the consequences of acting at a particular time will be. It will also help me in having a better way to solve problems and resolve conflicts in a way that won’t cause more damages. And of course, by having this skill, I’ll be able to communicate even more effectively. I know the right words to say almost all the time and for me that is golden.
And finally, having emotional intelligence will help me to grow personally. It will help me to make better decisions, better connections, give better advice to people, say the right words and most importantly being self controlled and discipline even in situations when I should normally do otherwise. It’s definitely going to help me be a better me, so why not? It is one of the skills I’d love to master instantly because it won’t only be beneficial to just me but to everyone around me.
So, what is it going to be for you? What is that one skill you will choose if you could master it instantly and why? Share your answers at the comments let’s discuss.
