Along with other goals, emotional intelligence is something that I need to get a better grasp on. I like reading posts by Dr Travis Bradberry on emotional intelligence. I am always inspired by his posts. I like his recent post... saving it here for reference.
"There are habits you can develop to improve your mental strength. In fact, the hallmarks of mentally strong people are actually strategies that you can begin using today.
