"If you are tuned out of your own emotions, you will be poor at reading them in other people" - Daniel Goleman
Emotional awareness.
Emotional control.
Being cognisant of what you're feeling.
Having the control to assess and react to your feelings pragmatically.
If your emotions control you.
If they dictate your actions.
If they determine your emotional state.
If you're not aware to these facts in yourself.
It is unlikely you'll be able to see this in others.
Have great self-governance.
Mental fortitude.
Self-mastery.
Cultivate peace within yourself.
Create equally-meaningful relationships in your life.

Strive to live, live to strive.
