Have you heard of Joey Cheek?  He just won a gold medal in speedskating at the Winter Olympics.

I love stories like his.  They're so powerful, so rare in occurrence, but so abundant in spirit.

So he won a medal, good for him, you say.  What's the big deal?  They're giving out tons of medals at the games.

The difference with this story is what Joey Cheek is doing with his victory.  He's not just taking a gold medal home.  He's donating his $25,000 gold medal bonus from the United States Olympic committee to help refugees in Chad through the Right to Play organization.

This is Abundance Intelligence (AQ) in Action because Joey is giving back in a huge way.  But there's more - Joey's vision to give his bonus to a great cause started way before he hit Torino.  He saw it as a way to add meaning to his life, beyond a single victory. 

And he used that meaning as the driving inspiration that led him to victory.  In a recent news conference, he said, ""I think on some level it is empowering to think of someone other than yourself." 

Abundance powered his victory.

And I suspect, Abundance will power his life, for a long time to come.
