For most of us, Emotional Intelligence is the capacity to recognize our own feelings and those of others and to manage emotions effectively in ourselves and our relationships.
A key characteristic involves the ability to adjust emotions and adapt quickly to a different environment or for a specific goal.
An article by Sequeira and Ahmed (2012) suggested that meditation may be an effective intervention for autism due to its documented capacity to improve self-control and self-regulation, reduce anxiety, and improve behavioral and cognitive functioning.
Meditation Can Be Done By Almost Anyone. Even Small Children.
Sandy McGregor's Inspirational Story ↟↟
Very few people overcome adversity like this.
On 23 January 1987, MacGregor's three daughters from his first marriage and a friend were shot dead.
I would like to introduce you to a VietNam veteran, personal friend and inspiration to 10's of thousands - myself included, Mr Sandy McGregor.
Rarely in life do we meet people who are inspirational sign posts to a higher "calling".
Sandy McGregor is one such person who has helped countless thousands of people find a higher path up the mountain.
Sandy was not just a sign post, he pro-actively inspired and coached people on how to be good, better, best.
What makes this person even more incredible is the unbelievable tragedy he suffered and overcame.
I have witnessed other people experience much less tragedy and waste the rest of their lives on drugs and / or alcohol and quite often they become emotional vampires feeding on the kindness of others - and eventually they become so toxic to be around that even their own families avoid them.
Not Sandy.
Sandy was nobody's victim. He chose to control life and not let life control him.
Sandy chose to become the Captain, the Rudder and the Wind of his own boat and not to play with rocks.
Using meditation as a way of "Calming" himself through a parents worst nightmare, and then seeing how positive it was in helping him overcome his soul destroying "triple" tragedy, Sandy set out to help others.
Sandy turned tragedy, despair and darkness into light and then used that light to help guide and inspire others, myself included.
Sandy saw something in me that I did not see in myself until decades later.
I will always be eternally grateful amigo.
Inspirational
No matter how terrible your personal tragedy is or was, I hope that you find positive inspiration from Sandy MacGregor's life.
 | A great leader knows how to extol greatness from those who need it the most. |  |
Sandy may not have been an open bodhisattva like the Dalai Lama or The Ari'Zal, but (in my opinion) he is as close to being a bodhisattva as a normal person can get.
Why?
Because Sandy chose to be better - and then not only proceeded to be better but to also extol higher consciousnesses in others.
