I’m passionate about people influencing other people. I recognize the effect people have on other people, whether it’s small or large, accidental or on purpose.
I want everyone to become aware of how they are effecting people. It starts with awareness of oneself. I highly recommend “Emotional Intelligence 2.0” for practical tools to:
- increase awareness of emotions in oneself and others
- develop emotional self-control
- anticipate how our actions will effect other people
If people raised their emotional intelligence, a trip to Wal-mart would be an entirely different experience. Just imagine, people would pull their carts to the side so they didn’t block the aisles while they shopped and they wouldn’t walk down the very center of the parking lot aisles so cars could drive on through. Granted, these things may seem like small potatoes, but they represent at least a basic understanding of the effect they are having on other people.
Once this basic understanding is established, people can move their focus to making their effect on others increasingly more positive and more widespread.
Ultimately, people on this journey will become more effective at bringing about the change they desire. They will become exceptional people, except that we want those kind of people to become the norm. Significance will become the new norm. Let’s recognize these significant individuals. We’ll call them “SignifiCats.” Now, let’s start a movement where everyone wants to be a SignifiCat. It’s time for The SignifiCat Revolution!
