IQ + EQ = IDK?

-

Why is it that the smartest people have the least amount of common sense, generally?


Why is it that the most soulful people, empaths, the introverts, the people that finish your sentences - most likely never finished college, got their degree and were probably not valedictorian of their graduating class, or maybe never even graduated or got their GAD?

Why? Because it is about balance. Balancing the exterior world of facts & figures, dates and dollar signs and the interior landscape of daydreams and rainbows, hearts and heroines.

Me, I guess a 138 IQ is smart. Hasn’t helped me much. But, what about my EQ - my emotional quotient?

I am empathetic, intuitive, humanistically a lover of my fellow Homo Sapiens. I make friends or acquaintances immediately and develop rapport in seconds with strangers?

So, why do I struggle making money? Why, or why can I not find a career path that can support me financially, emotionally and spiritually? 

Smart, funny, and enjoyable to be around (a real treasure, lol) I can speak to any topic and or person and hold heartwarming and evocative conversations with strangers that invariably lead to a hug in parting.

I know now! Part of the Emotional Quotient, EQ, that I need to work on is Hard work and Discipline. Eureka!    

To Be Continued…

TRIBALISM WILL SURELY KILL US ALL

Like a pack of hungry wolves, we seek to eat and destroy our prey. That hunger that thirst that cannot be satisfied can eat us alive. When some of us have all that we need we want more. More than we can ever use. More and more and more that is our mantra. When disasters happen, we are instructed to consume more for the cause. But that is only instinct. However, it does not serve the good, our good or the collective good or the greater good. Our economic system is based on consumption. More hunter than a gatherer. We rely on a cheap source of energy that destroys the environment when new economies can build on newer more sustainable and environmentally friendly renewable forms of energy i.e. solar, winds, waves. We can leverage what is already there. That is Humane – for us and our home. Animals take care of their homes, dens, hives, nests, we destroy and spoil what was given us with our never-ending appetites.   Preservation and now restoration must be our focus lest we

Come what may, whatever tomorrow may bring, we need to deal with it and move on! The world is in pieces and we can not change it or fix it with the same thinking that got us here. Greed and Selfishness will not be tolerated moving forward. The truth will be first and foremost the determining factor on every decision and petty bullshit will not be tolerated. Stupidity and ignorance - willful or otherwise will be called out and not be allowed to continue. We are all in this together the Social Compact must be adhered to and practiced and encouraged if we are to survive and evolve beyond this moment in time. "Some of us think holding on makes us strong; but sometimes it is letting go." ~ Hermann Hesse There is a lot of misinformation out there. Conspiracy theories are running rampant. Fake news, disinformation, social media is inundated and saturated with memes and cartoons depicting gallows humor a person doesn't know what to believe - so we cower in our c

TREATING THE SYMPTOMS NOT THE CAUSE.

FOR-PROFIT AND DIVIDENDS "Those who do not hate their own selfishness and regard themselves as more important than the rest of the world are blind because the truth lies elsewhere" ~ Blaise Pascal I was recently diagnosed as having Type 2 Diabetes. I went to the Dr. for a regular check-up to get a physical. Pretty routine stuff. He scheduled me to get labs done. I hadn't seen him in a couple years. So it made sense. Saved time so he had the baseline numbers PSA etc.. to work with. Turns out my blood sugar was through the roof - 15 when 5-6.5 A1C is an acceptable number. He said we would treat it with meds first then pursue getting the number done with diet. I thought ok. It was all new to me. I did not even realize that I was looking at diabetes until I asked him what was going on. Later after doing some research, I realized that the Dr. did not even mention exercise or what foods I should eat or other options as far as medication. I did n
