Check your mood, attitude, and energy before you interact with anyone. The speaker argues that moment-to-moment self-awareness prevents you from showing up badly and increases the odds that conversations go well.
Let me run something by you real quick. Remember when Cube used to say, you better check yourself before you wreck yourself because it's bad for your health? I'm coming real stealth. What he was putting out there is that make sure that as you navigate throughout the day and you move from moment to moment, from conversation to conversation, that you are checking 3 things. Your mood, your attitude, and the energy you are bringing to any situation. Because the ultimate goal in life is to create positive outcomes more often than not. So from a self-awareness component, when it comes to emotional intelligence, I want you to keep Cube in mind today. No matter where you go and what you do, I want you to check yourself before you wreck yourself. And how are you going to do that? Every time before you pick up the phone, before you respond to a text, before you enter into a conversation, right? No matter where you go next, I want you to check in. What's your mood? What's your attitude? What's your energy? But most importantly, ask yourself, how do you want to show up in that moment?
I was literally kicked off a Southwest flight before for being disrespectful.
