Success Thinking

To grow spiritually, what do you need?  To develop your spiritual intelligence.

But what actually is spiritual intelligence and how do you develop it? To start, recognize that there are four basic kinds of intelligence: physical, emotional, mental and spiritual. Also there are some variations and offshoots of different ways to categorize intelligences.

Most people think of IQ as just mental ability, the kind of thinking taught in school. It focuses on memorizing and analyzing. However important this function, it is just one kind of intelligence that can be developed.

There is also physical intelligence, which starts from birth with your body’s development. It includes movements, spatial ability and body awareness.

An important note here is some people are more gifted with physical intelligence, as with any of the other intelligences.  For instance, one person can be a handy-person or more athletic than many others.

Then there is emotional intelligence. This means being aware of your emotions and managing them, which includes relating to others. Those who are emotionally adept may be more empathetic and sociable with others.

Here’s an example of emotional intelligence: What am I feeling now?  Frustration… Okay, maybe I just need to accept that and sit with it for a moment. Maybe I need to take some deliberate action.

In short, you are aware of your emotions – how they affect you and others.  Also note that each of the intelligences requires study and practice to develop.

Although we all are spiritual beings having a human experience, spiritual intelligence takes some time to emerge. First, you need to develop some emotional intelligence for self-understanding and self-reflection. Emotional awareness includes being able to interact well with others.
