Actions drive results. Correct?

Not quite, because behind every action is an emotion. Therefore, 𝗲𝗺𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗮𝗹𝘆𝘀𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀, 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗱𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘀.

🎖️This realization inspired me to earn a certification in Daniel Goleman’s skills of Emotional Intelligence (EI).

Simple example, taking this little breath before you react to someone that triggers you, will bring you better outcomes. There is an interesting study: if we look at the top 1% of earners versus the top 10% globally. The top 10% have a higher IQ than the top 1%. But the people who make the most money have a lower IQ than the quartile underneath them.

The big difference:

👩🏻🎨 As an inspiring way to explore emotions, I highly recommend Marina Abramović’s retrospective at Kunsthaus Zürich until 26FEB2025.
