One of my good friends told me that happiness is nothing to do with achievements or possessions. Happiness is the feeling you get when you make a sujud early morning in mosque. The very first breath you take after knowing that you are still being given a chance to praise God in your prayer is a form of happiness. Unlike other people I talk to, this good friend of mine never mention anything about tangible concepts. I guess high spiritual intelligence is what this person has successfully achieved.
There is a reason why I put Spirit in the last section of my writing. It is merely because I believe that this part is the hardest to achieve. It is believed that spiritual  intelligence is the most ultimate and deepest self-intelligence to  possess. In the modern society, spiritually concept is often stigmatized as a taboo for some people. Instead of questioning the existence of human being, people tend to pursue tangible concepts like material wealth. Something that is believed can be instantly seen and felt. Value becomes folklore. What is forbidden long ago becomes acceptable now. Spiritual and moral compass are no longer use for humanity guidance. People follow desire and lust. Free sex was a taboo and now become common, kids were laughing in the face of core values their parents taught them. I don't know the latest data but two years ago I read that Atheism and Agnosticism were the third largest belief in the world. I finally realized the core values are constantly shifting and I'm afraid the roots are no longer strong enough to save humanity.
Ever wonder why do some people said they are feeling "whole" after went to their place of worship like church, mosque or temple? Or when someone you know is in constant pain and still be able to tell you that they are grateful for it? This is what Jitmoud or my good friend have possessed. High spiritual intelligence. A beautiful journey to a higher place beyond humanity. Taking time to pray and surrender in the higher power will never make you feel powerless. So never be afraid to have faith, to believe in something you have not seen. Making prayer as the main pillar in the era of skepticism is like finding a medicine for a chronic disease.
I hope at the end of the day people will realize that material wealth and cognitive importance are incomplete without questioning the greater purpose of human lives. Spiritual intelligence is like the last puzzle to complete our life conundrum. It would be the strongest foundation of self-intelligence. We can't build a beautiful house without a strong foundation, can we?
PEACEFUL SEEKER
Have you ever felt so jaded but you just can't stop typing and staring at your computer screen? Â Have you ever been in a situation where you have so many appointments you forget to date your spouse? Or have you ever thought that sleeping is now becoming a very expensive privilege in a day? That hobbies are starting to cease to exist? This vicious pace of life enslaved humanity and fueled people with gradually unseen destruction. People work and work, without responding to the body who is craving for rejuvenation. We forget the fact that our body function become weaker each day and need to be mentally recharged.
Instead of surrender to this silent killer, let's take a pause in the midst of chaotic activities. Make a list of the things that can make yourself in peace. Going to a pampering vacation. Spend more time with families and friends without keep looking at the phone. Learning a yoga or your preference of meditation. Taking time to breathe-in-and-out every time your stress hormones crawling in. Fight for your hobby, whether it is going fishing, playing games, writing or reading a book. Dalai Lama once said, "Calm mind brings inner strength and self-confidence, so that's very important for good health". Be a peaceful seeker.
