Six months ago I would have failed in these social situations. But field experience and ability to handle the heat of social pressure has moved me past this level. Through repetitive exposure to the saturation of these emotions, I have come to terms with them both rationally and on a physical level. I have changed internally, and evolved. My inner game is strong. It didn't come from reading or intellectualizing. It came from repetition in the field, and exposure to new experiences. All of the experiences that at the time felt so negative, but were really what was necessary to lead me to where I am today on a level of emotional intelligence. It came from the inevitable process of adaptation, that all people possess the ability to sustain. I really believe that every person has the ability, and that shown the right path they can learn to walk it.
