Author: Berenice Mulubah Self-awareness is crucial to emotional intelligence, enhancing leadership capabilities and fostering greater focus and tranquility. In 1 Timothy 4:16, the Bible instructs us to closely monitor ourselves and our teachings, and to persist in this diligence. This means actively observing our actions and character to ensure they are in line with our teachings, carefully maintaining the integrity of our messages, and remaining steadfast in our righteous living and faithful teaching. By doing so, we not only save ourselves but also positively influence those who listen to us.
