The first distinction
Spiritual Quotient (SQ)
Your Spiritual Quotient
represents the very essence of who you are & is the source code to your EQ and
PQ, explained elsewhere.
Spiritual intelligence is defined by your capacity to consistently behave with
“compassion and wisdom”, while maintaining inner & outer peace, regardless of
the circumstances. In essence, your Spiritual Quotient is a measure of your
ability to Love with a capital “L” not in any way to be confused with romantic
love.
Faith
Your Spiritual Quotient is the measure of your capacity to have faith. Faith in
yourself, faith in others and above all, faith in the very process of life. Faith has been defined by spiritual
leaders as “the substance of things hoped
for; the evidence of things not seen”
It’s your Spiritual Quotient that determines your capacity to experience an
ongoing sense of inner peace, freedom from stress and an ability to live
consciously, as one who is no stranger to moments of serenity.
