Essay about Emotional Intelligence

Do you find it easy or hard to believe in yourself and your abilities? Why do you feel that way? What can you do to feel better about yourself?

Believing in yourself means having confidence in your own abilities. Being able to put your trust in your ability to carry out your objectives you promise to perform. In this essay, we’ll discuss about whether it is easy or hard to believe in ourselves, our skills and the things we can do to feel better about ourselves.

I personally think it’s easy to believe in ourselves and in our abilities if you surround yourself with people who care about your well being because when we have the right group or person by our side, everything will seem much easier to complete than having people who will push you down no matter how hard you try to get up. By having this type of people in your life you will have no problem in having hope in you and in the project that you are willing to realize. And perhaps one of the most fundamental part of believing in yourself is believing that you have a worth.

I feel that if we have the right group or person by our side, that they will always make sure to encourage you and they will make sure that you are going on the right path. And these people will help build the confidence that will make you believe that you’re capable to go through every obstacle to reach your goal. And I also feel that if you have a hard time believing that you are worthy of your dreams, then why would you even go for them? On the other hand, if you like your self and treat yourself like someone you like, them this positive self treatment can go a long way toward believing in yourself.

There are many ways that we could make ourselves feel better about ourselves. As I mentioned above, having good people around will automatically make you believe in yourself We can start to grow our self-worth by being king to ourselves and by practicing skills like self compassion. We could talk to ourselves nicely, root for ourselves that we could anything in which put our heart in and to go easy on ourselves when we struggle or make mistakes because we must know that making mistakes is normal and it’s by making them that we approach the perfection.

In conclusion, it is easy to believe in yourself if you have the right people around you and you must love yourself and know your worth to believe in yourself.

Spheres of influences

1. I feel that my mom and my grandmother they both have a more significant impact on my personal development than any other people because since my childhood I saw them work hard for their families and they always tried to be independent women. Like my grandma had to raise her kids alone during the war in my country because my grandpa had to leave so that he could work in Europe and send some money for his family. But my grandma didn’t want to depend on my grandpa. She had to go to work and at the same times take care of my mom and my 2 aunts. And since it was during the war it was hard to stay in one place, they had to move a lot and she had to face a lot of rude comments because at that time If woman was seen alone with kids, people would say rude comments on them. But my grandma never failed to protect her daughter and trough all this problem she maintains to give them a good education. My mom has also a significant impact on my personal development because she had, and she will always be on my side no matter what and she will find anything to help me. Whenever I am sad, or I have a problem she has always been there to tell me that everything will be alright and give me solution. I feel that if we want a positive development, we should have a positive person around us and for me that is my mom.

2. I have this math tutor; she is and old lady who is a professor in Ottawa University. After my grandma she is one of the people who has an influence on me. Every time that we would go to her class, we would learn new things in math, but we would also learn things which are really important I feel like with all of her experience in life I just listen to her. She always tells us about how we should never give up in life and that it is okay to make mistakes, but you have to know that you have to ask questions if you don’t understand something that you have learned or a mistake that you still can’t figure why it’s a mistake. One of her examples that have a huge influence on me is the fact that she failed one year in her secondary school but the fact after that mistake she didn’t stop working hard on her schoolwork and that she got to a point where she got a PhD. And she always tells us about how anyone could do anything because if someone can do it than you should be also capable of also doing it.

3. I would agree because it is fate that my mom is my mom and that my dad and same thing goes for my sibling because I don’t have the ability to control for whom should I born or to even decide who should be my siblings. But at the same time, I would disagree because I wouldn’t say it is completely fate because my parents had the choice if I should be connected with my aunts and my uncles. Like my parents could have made the decision to make me avoid visiting my aunts and my uncles because my parents didn’t want the influence of my aunts and uncles influence on me.

4. I would agree that in level 2 even if it was my choices the people that I have let enter my life have a significant impact on me because the bad qualities of some people be really have a huge influence on you because you see them often as you see your family. This could also be peer pressured because if all of your friends want to do something bad that you don’t want to do at the end there is a high that fell into their bad influence but it is not only for bad influence it could also be a positive influence like if your friends donate for something good then it will have an influence on you and there is a higher chance that you donate for something good because you their good actions often which could create a huge impact on you.

5. The 3rd level of influence it really depend on how close you were with that person because if you don’t really feel a connection with them then they wont really have an impact on you. Like let’s say your not close with your French than he wouldn’t really make an impact in your life because in your head he is just a teacher who is here to teach you new things in life. But let say that you are really close with your math teacher than any other
