And over that time, I've read over a book a week. Okay. So emotional intelligence, this is what we call EQ. This has to do with the heart, social, emotional, you know, in our relationships and whatnot. So there's four components to that. And, you know, traditionally we talk about it as self-awareness, self-regulation, social awareness. awareness and relationship development.

They say relationship management. I don't like the word management because you manage things, you lead people. So it's more according to Stephen Covey anyway, and he sold 50 million copies of it. So he know what he's talking about. So, so it's, it's, and so it's about this idea that we have this ability as human beings to step back and observe our experience.

So we're talking about a certain kind of awareness, like mirror mind is awareness. That's inclusive. It just, allows us to see things and we can, through our self-awareness, we can self-regulate. That means we can, which is another part of emotional intelligence, we can regulate our thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and even how we interpret things. We have autonomy and that's it. We make choices.

We are responsible. When we accept responsibility, then we can choose and we can make choices. And so I don't care what situation we're in, there's always a little bit of space. But if we can create More space, if we can pause and reflect, if we can be still and know or be still until we know. I'm going in Bible over here, but you get what I'm saying. You create space.

And in that space, and this is what Victor Franco talked about, in that space is the freedom and power to choose. Now, how do you use that space?
