Incorrect.
That's a limiting belief.
I'm gonna shake up your paradigm real quick 👇
Too much intellect without a sense of self can inflate your ego.
This is why a lot of high IQ people lack social intelligence.
They talk to humans like robots & are baffled when they are resented for it.
This is why the charismatic person who knows less often rises up quicker
Incorrect.
That's a limiting belief.
I'm gonna shake up your paradigm real quick 👇
And like most people, we were like 'yea, sure!'
But there's few incorrect thought patterns here
2. IQ exam insinuates intellect is fixed.
3. Your high IQ won't make others give a fuck, your communication will.
Let's go thru each one
What I consider success may not be success for you.
Success it's a mirror image of where you are & where you want to be.
Aka sense of self.
So measuring success starts from looking within, not an exam.
This is so wrong, its comical.
Your brain is malleable.
New neural circuits can be formed whenever you bring the awareness to do so.
With the 2, you can virtually learn anything.
These 2 factors will make practice a lifestyle, not a fad.
Once you can practically apply the subject, reasoning will be a byproduct.
The biggest elephant in the room.
Why are so many high IQ people good workers while high charismatic people are good leaders?
Simple.
Ability to deal with people.
Aka: ability to communicate.
Incorrect.
Your high IQ will not dictate your social success.
Your tamed ego will.
But when you see they are flawed creatures with emotions & an ego, the intellectual thinking goes out the window.
They lead with the heart.
This sounds silly to someone with very high IQ & low awareness.
A charismatic person deals with these flawed creatures, gets their point across & comes out respected.
Yep.
And when you reach middle ground territory, you become deadly as fuck.
You rise on autopilot.
You are flash & substance.
This requires emotional intelligence & the awareness to accept they don't know shit.
A charismatic person needs desire & intent to learn technical skills.
This requires consistency & practice.
Its serves its role.
But the school system only pushed it onto us growing up because measuring technical knowledge via a test is easy.
Measuring drive people skills, drive & emotional control isn't.

Storytelling 101:
Your readers need to be able to empathize with your main character, otherwise they will not continue reading.
Best way to make them empathize is by making your character relatable.
'How?'
By giving your character flaws.
Make them human.
Just to add on.
Your antagonist or villian should have a desirable quality.
For example: an evil villian that has a lot of riches.
Giving your villian some pros makes the reader root for your antagonist even more.
Face it, humans are drawn to flaws over perfection.
But a main character with negative traits & a villain with positive traits creates magic.
Counterintuitive, I know.
But you are creating friction.
You are sparking dual emotions in your readers.
This will make the readers go on an emotional roller coaster.
This is just one of the many principles of storytelling

TW: suicidal ideation.
At the darkest days of the abuse I was being subjected to I decided to attend a conference for women in Los Angeles. I convinced my mother in law to pay for it because I couldn’t afford it. @ChristineCaine was preaching. I was desperate...

I wanted to die, I didn’t see a way out and I had tried everything. I imagined many ways to die daily. The most recurring one was throwing my car down a bridge I had to drive over every day. I never did it because my kids were in the car and I was afraid one of them would...

Christine spoke about honoring your pastors even when they weren’t great, she spoke of us expecting too much of pastors and how wrong that was. She said God would use our testimony if we submitted to our pastors.

She said “honor your pastors, God will honor you.” She said more about having disagreed with her pastors but she submitted and God honored her and now she’s blessed. How if they are faithfully serving God, we need to support them and not forfeit what God has for us.

I felt my heart drop into my stomach. I got up and went to the bathroom because I couldn’t breath and I felt like I was going to faint if I didn’t scream. I now know I was having a panic attack. I sat on the toilet w/my head between my legs, breathed and wept..

There are many reasons why the unfolding news of Ravi Zacharias\u2019 abuse is enraging. But for me, there\u2019s one other piece. The women he chose to abuse were young, massage therapists, ethnic minorities, likely women who were not in positions of power or education.
