Role models of SQ


SQ21: The Twenty-one Skills Of Spiritual Intelligence is a guide to your own hero’s journey. As role models we can look to the noblest human beings we an think of, people like Gandhi, Nelson Mandela, Socrates, and Mother Teresa. What sets them apart is more that intellectual smarts (IQ) or great interpersonal skills (EQ). It is their spiritual intelligence (SQ).

John Mackey, Forward, SQ21, p.vii


Don McClean sang in his classic song, American Pie, that the three people he admired most are the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.


In Paul Simon’s great song, You Can Call Me Al, he sings “Who will be my role model when my role models are gone?”


Having been raised as a Catholic, I was encourage to read about the lives of the saints and to celebrate their feast days when a mass was dedicated to them in their honor.


Who is the most spiritually intelligent person you know? Do you aspire to emulate their SQ? How do you do this?
