SQ is… the intelligence we use to transform our world into a whole new order
of being by finding meaning and purpose in whatever is arising,
to see the positive beyond appearances (faith),
to withhold judgments and accept unconditionally,
to be flexible and adaptable, to sense our unity or one-ness with everyone
and all things, to become aware that we always have a
choice during stressful moments.
