I believe that if you
have the desire and
passion to do
something; if it’s
God’s will, you will
achieve it in good
time. God is using
me just the way I am
and in ways others
can’t be used.

Daniel Goleman identified the five

'domains' of EQ as:
 Knowing your emotions.
 Managing your own emotions.
 Motivating yourself.
 Recognizing and understanding other people's emotions.
 Managing relationships, i.e. managing the emotions of
others.
 We cannot solve our problems with
the same level of thinking that
created them." (Albert Einstein)
