Emotional trauma crashes into your life, throwing you to the ground, usually without warning. In that moment, your life sucks, and that fact sucks any remaining life out of you.

To be restored requires significant change. To live well requires diligent attention to self-care and guidance through the process of healing and recovery.

Most people only ever rely on their conventional intelligence (IQ) to get them through life, or worse, believe it to be the best indicator for success. For years this was thought to be the case, that IQ was the most accurate predictor of a person's potential, whether it's getting a leg up in your career or simply building better relationships in business/family life. However that is no longer the case. It's now commonly known that Emotional Intelligence (EQ) has the biggest impact here.

So many people do not realize their full potential in life not because they do not have the skills to do their job well, but, rather, because they do not know how to convince others.
