I read that and consideredrepparttar case closed. How fortunate someone who’d been there knew what to do. But there was no response andrepparttar 123479 sympathy cards kept flowing in. Two days later another e-note: “I’ll repeat. Let your tax dollars do something for you for a change. Callrepparttar 123480 FBI. It’s what they do.”

Butrepparttar 123481 list is still talking about what to do.

BACK TO MOTHER THERESA

Pamela continued, “Mother Theresa was unmistakably in command. I will NEVER forget it. Everything I read about her since that time has more resonance, more depth, more meaning inrepparttar 123482 light of her as this Commander-in-Chief.”

When I had proposed Mother Theresa torepparttar 123483 class, what I was after was Intentionality. It’s one ofrepparttar 123484 highest-level EQ competencies - meaning what you say and saying what you mean, getting it done, and being accountable to yourself for your motives.

There’s nothing ^soft^ about compassion, or Intentionality, or emotional intelligence. EQ is what drives it all.

"There should be less talk,” said Mother Theresa. “A preaching point is not a meeting point. What do you do then? Take a broom and clean someone's house. That says enough."

Work on your Intentionality. It will make your life work better for you.
