Adversity And Consciousness

Adversity And Consciousness

The first step in turning challenges into opportunities is to allow adversity to force us into the present moment.  For most people their worst enemy lives between their two ears.  We can become aware of the thoughts and emotions our mind is creating without simply reacting them.  Fearful thinking and the anxiety it creates often leads to more suffering.

It is highly unlikely that our situation is dangerous or critical in this moment.  If it is we need to take immediate action but the need for us to take immediate action is usually the exception not the rule.  Our challenges are often an invitation to connect with the present moment.  The consciousness this creates can free us from being controlled by external events.

The development of emotional intelligence is an experiential process focused on the emotional labor required to create better habits and results.  In this discussion Heather Andrus, VP Fortive Mountain View California (x Apple) highlights how emotional intelligence unleashes the intellectual and creative capabilities that leads to career, personal and corporate success.
