Tips on Emotional Intelligence

Emotional intelligence is the ability to identify and manage your own emotions and the emotions of others.

It's the ability of you being sensitive and considerate to your own self and also to other people.

 Emotional Intelligence is you giving attention voice, tone, body language and facial expression of people. 

It's in you listening and understanding the voice of silence. SILENCE HAS A VOICE; emotional intelligence can only hear it.

Emotional Intelligence is in you understand the voice behind any attitude displayed. It's you understanding the difference between people's reaction and their real struggle. 

It's in you knowing why people do things instead of you being blinded by what they have done.

Emotional intelligence is in your understanding people's motive through what they do and say. It's in you paying attention to "how" people do things.

Emotional intelligence is not a place of presumption or assumption. 

It's an intellectual activity through questioning, observation, patience and clarity.  

Emotional intelligence is for people with a wide heart and people who are not desperate or greedy.  

It's for people with the curiosity to understand and the hunger for healthy relationship with the people around them. 


 Emotional Intelligence is you listening to the tone of people's voice. We have different tone of voice. Some tone of voice reveal the following and you must be sensitive to decode. 

* Anger. 
* Fear. 
* Worries 
* Doubts. 
* Confusion 
* Lies 
* Being desperate 
* Regrets 
* Giving up. 
Etc

Being sensitive to the tone of voice when people talk to you will help you to understand what they are saying and even understand what they are refusing to say.       

Facial Expression also contain lots of non verbal Information just like the tone of the voice does. 

Keep practicing and if you are not sure - ask the people question like " are you happy or is there any thing bothering you or are you willing to share what's in your mind?"

These will help you maintain a healthy friendship with people - even in your family or in school or at church

Emotional Intelligence is a daily practice. No body knows it all or have it all or have seen it all. 

This is the best I can pen down but not all it stands for. Try and make more research on your own.

Jesus loves you and He is interested in you being sensitive to the people around you.

Teenagers, Prayer Is A Lifestyle

Prayer is not just a religious routine—it’s a personal conversation with God, your Father, who cares deeply about every detail of your life. For teenagers navigating school, friendships, emotions, and choices, daily prayer can become a safe place to process it all. It’s more than asking God for things; it’s about sharing your thoughts, listening for His guidance, and allowing His peace to fill your heart. Think of it like talking to your best friend—honest, real, and consistent. Even five to ten minutes each morning can reset your mood, shift your focus, and help you start your day with a clear mind and a peaceful heart. You don’t need fancy words. Just be real. Whether you're praying silently, whispering, or writing your thoughts in a journal like a letter to God, what matters is your heart. Over time, prayer becomes a habit that helps you stay calm in pressure, kind when it's hard, and strong when you're tempted to quit. If you're wondering how to grow in this, start ...

How Bondage Affects You as Teenagers

As a teenager with a purpose, you are created by God to live a life of freedom, joy, and meaning. But sometimes, you may feel trapped—by negative thoughts, bad habits, or painful experiences. This is what bondage looks like. It’s anything that keeps you from living the life God has planned for you. Jesus warned us in John 10:10, “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.” The enemy wants to keep you in chains—chains of fear, shame, and insecurity—but Jesus offers you a life of freedom and purpose. Bondage affects you in more ways than you might realize. Spiritually, it can make you feel distant from God, like your prayers don’t matter or He doesn’t care. Emotionally, it can drain your confidence, leaving you feeling unworthy or stuck in guilt over past mistakes. Physically, it can show up as stress, restlessness, or even isolation from people who care about you. These chains keep you from seeing yourself the way Go...
