The Enneagram is so much more
It’s not complicated, but it is complex. What I love about the Enneagram is that it helps you break things down so that things aren’t so difficult. In this episode I explore how I use it to give thanks.
Listen now
I have a lot to be thankful for.
We’re celebrating Thanksgiving this week and I have so much to be thankful for, even during this crazy year. I was reflecting back about everything that went on this year and realized that had this happened a decade ago, it would have looked really, really different for me—especially without the tool of the Enneagram and the people in my life.
Back then, I attracted a certain type of person.
Most of them were a lot like me or would enable people like me. Although great for my ego, it did zero for my development, growth and heart; it was quite lonely to be honest.
What I’m thankful for, for each Enneagram type.
That’s why I’d like to invite you to this exercise in which I list what I’m thankful for, for each Enneagram type—for all the people in my life today.
#1s: Thank you for your integrity in everything that you do and how you raise the bar for all of us.
#2s: Thank you for being compassionate and generous and showing us what service to mankind looks like.
#3s: Thank you for being gritty, fearless, and the best pace cars in the world.
#4s: Thank you for making us all feel all the emotions—even those we don’t want to—and for bringing meaning to everything life offers.
#5s: Thank you for being able to see the bigger picture and your willingness and enthusiasm to know all the things.
#6s: Thank you for putting us all at ease, championing us like nobody else, and for your loyalty.
#7s: Thank you for the joy you bring to any and every situation—your positivity and laughter are contagious.
#8s: Thank you for your big heart, your gentle power, your resourcefulness and commitment to seeking what’s right.
#9s: Thank you for your presence, how it feels like a big hug, and for providing calm in the craziest of storms.
