Comment on Re-writing your scene by escaladeur

I find that this happens more often than not the opportunity to express the facts gets clouded by emotion. Good article to remind me of the EQ component.

From personal to professional it is impactful. I actually am utilizing your blog not so much for myself yet to filter other people’s comments. As an example, someone may casually mention, I do not know how we get the results we get (positive or negative), and I share, your team is strong, so give them credit. Personally, I want to take ownership for all of the emotions around me. Sometimes challenging, when there are constant negative comments coming toward you.

Thank you for posting this blog, as it made me look at both sides of life, business and personal, and it reaffirms that I am the only one responsible for my emotions, and what can be done with the situation.
