We're diving into "The Wealth Money Can't Buy" by Robin Sharma. The concept of AQ is relatively new compared to IQ and EQ, but it's gaining recognition as a crucial skill. People with High AQ are often better equipped to handle changes, uncertainties, and challenges.
Different Types of Intelligence
IQ (Intelligence quotient) measures your logical reasoning, math skills, and language abilities. EQ (Emotional quotient) also known as emotional intelligence measures one's ability to recognize, understand, and manage our own emotions and the emotions of others. AQ (Adaptability quotient) measures one's ability to adapt to and thrive in changing environments. A higher AQ can lead to greater peace, as it helps you navigate change more effectively and with less stress.
Sometimes it’s easy to get caught up in our routines and resist anything that disrupts our plans. But sometimes those disruptions are divine opportunities—moments where the Lord is guiding us to step outside our comfort zone and be open to new experiences or people. When we let go of our rigidity and surrender to His will, we can embrace these moments with trust and faith, knowing that they serve a greater purpose. It’s a reminder to stay flexible and allow room for unexpected blessings.
Be adaptable!
When things happen in your day to day life, handle it with ease. Acknowledge that sometimes immediate action isn't possible, but taking a pause can provide clarity to look for alternative solutions and prevent impulsive responses.
Fears Are Ghost Stories!
"Most of our fears are big lies, pure illusions, blatant untruths. They are ghost stories, if you get what I mean".
A man was hiking down from a mountain, having a great time. It was beautiful and the sun was setting. He suddenly trips as the sun was almost down. So he grabbed onto a branch, and he held on to the branch with dear life because he can't see anymore. He thought that he was going to fall to the depths of his doom.
So he held on for dear life to this branch all night long, thinking that if he let go then he's going to fall. The sun came up the next morning, the man looked down and saw a ledge that was only six inches from the tree limb from where he was holding on to. He realized that all night he was afraid of something that wasn't even going to happen just because he couldn't see it.
"We need to change our narrative. We need to refuse to listen to the fairy tales that the ghost stories are telling you. They don't deserve to occupy your mind or limit your success, your happiness or your serenity. They really are only six inches deep. Change the narrative. We let fear hold us back. We let lies hold us back. We let the thought of what could happen hold us back. We let untruths hold us back".
Don't let fear take control of our lives. Fear is a surmountable obstacle rather than an immovable barrier
Identify areas in your lives where fear might be holding you back and find the courage to take the steps towards addressing those fears.
I used to have a stigma around that whole idea of therapy because I never knew anybody that was in therapy. But I have a lot of friends that do, and they tell me how great it is to help them understand and walk through life. They walked me through how it helped their marriages, or helped them understand why they were raised a certain way when they were kids. Therapy also helped them through getting over some hard things.
So don't be afraid! Fear is holding you back from your greatness. Many fears are based on imagined scenarios rather than reality. There are things that we are called to do and that fear might be obstructing.
This is a reminder that while fear is a natural human emotion, it doesn't have to define or limit our lives. It encourages embracing our potential and pursuing our calling, even in the face of fear.
Think about the things that have been holding you back today. Do something to knock out that fear or that illusion. Adaptable people are more peaceful and joyful. Stop, smile, enjoy things, have an attitude of gratitude and be okay with things that might interrupt your day. Adaptability is important!
