Oh! You have a great IQ—that’s something we’ve heard and said over the years. When William Stern first coined the term IQ, it wasn’t merely a measure of intellect. What it reflected was how a person’s mental age compared to their biological age. Since then, IQ has been hailed as a hallmark of intelligence—and often, as the cornerstone of success.
But what if I told you that it isn’t?
That a high Intelligence Quotient doesn’t necessarily guarantee success in life?We’ve made intelligence such a colossal pinnacle that we often overlook other crucial elements. One such often-forgotten insight is our Emotional Intelligence, or EQ.
EQ reflects our emotional side—our ability to feel, understand, manage, and utilize emotions effectively. In the recipe for success, EQ is like the perfect balance of ingredients: different feelings blended beautifully in the right proportions.
All too often, we brush aside our emotions, tucking them under the carpet, fearing they’ll make us seem weak or overly sensitive. We’ve grown up hearing that “good boys” and “good girls” don’t cry. But the truth is—you can’t fly if you’re carrying the weight of unfelt, unexpressed emotions.
The only way to release them is to accept them, to feel them fully and intentionally.To truly understand others, we must begin by understanding ourselves.That’s where true strength and serenity lie.It’s exquisite to live every feeling and learn to manage it—without being consumed by it.At InsightIt, we offer you a safe, warm space to feel, to explore, and to grow.Here, you’re not just heard—you’re gently guided to understand and process your inner world with clarity and compassion.As Sigmund Freud beautifully said,
“Out of your vulnerabilities will come your strength.”And in embracing your emotions, you begin the magnificent journey of healing.
