We have talked about the seven deadly sins, and their “opposites”, the seven virtues and now I want to tie in EQ – Emotional Intelligence.

But what is Emotional Intelligence? It is composed of four areas:

1.     Self-awareness (know yourself, your strengths and weaknesses- this could be the virtue of humility)

2.     Self-management (this would include the virtues of diligence, temperance, and chastity)

3.     Social awareness (this would include the virtues of charity/good works and kindness)

4.     Relationship management (this would be the virtue of patience but also include the virtues of charity/good works and kindness)

When you experience failure, what can you do to become more resilient?
