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…

The support of those in your community. This is what is needed to help all of us, especially those of us that struggle daily with the unseen or non-material affliction.  Loving-kindness, compassion, empathy are all expressions that we are interconnected. If you cannot connect ask yourself why? If you are not able to hold a door, lend a hand, yield, or show support what are you doing? We are all in this together. We thrive when we can join togethe

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
