I saw a few quotes recently, gems that resonated. Honestly, the first one had me laughing hard.
First ...
“If you babble enneagram, I am a five. If you boast myers-briggs, I am an introvert-intuition-thinking-perceiving.”― Santosh Kalwar
And then there's these two ...
“The Enneagram is a tool that awakens our compassion for people just as they are, not the people we wish they would become so our lives would become easier.”
― Ian Morgan Cron, The Road Back to You: An Enneagram Journey to Self-Discovery
And …
“The superego is the inner voice that is always putting us down for not living up to certain standards or rewarding our ego when we fulfill its demands . . .
In fact, our superego is one of the most powerful agents of the personality: it is the "inner critic" that keeps us restricted to certain limited possibilities for ourselves. .... . . If we feel anxious, depressed, lost, hopeless, fearful, wretched, or weak, we can be sure that our superego is on duty.”
― Don Richard Riso, The Wisdom of the Enneagram: The Complete Guide to Psychological and Spiritual Growth for the Nine Personality Types
Those resonate for me. How about you?
For me, Inner Work journeying is a vital continuous process to live, work, lead and be better. It's helped me wake up, heal, grow, and deal with unconscious trauma and family patterns. From this, I’ve discovered helping others as a supportive guide, coach and facilitator is my purpose and passion. Here's my recent blog on Inner Work.
