The emotional state is a tricky business because it’s like a complex abstract puzzle with limited pieces that can only be solved by perceptions of sight and sound. We’ve spent centuries trying to understand emotions but it can’t be accurately explained since each person experiences and feels their emotions differently than the next person.

Emotional intelligence is a set of qualities and competencies one possesses, it is the ability of an individual to recognize their emotions and the emotions of others. It is perhaps the intangible piece that one takes with them each day that affects how they manage their behavior and relationships with others and how they make daily decisions (Bradberry & Greaves, 2009, p.17).
