Hey, you weirdo!

It's Friday, and I'm a day late with this newest baby, but here we are.

Today, I want to introduce you to the Enneagram quickly.

A few years ago, I learned about the Enneagram. It's a personality typing system that can help you understand your motivations and fears and become your healthiest self.

But before we get into the nine types...
Fun Sci-fi Quiz: Do you know the answers?

1. What is the name of the son that Tom Cruise's character lost in 'Minority Report'?

Learning about yourself through the Enneagram
enneagram 1 - perfectionist, reformer, anger type 2 - giver, helper, image 3 - performer, achiever, image 4 - romantic, individualist, image 5 - observer, investigator, fear 6 - questioner, loyalist, fear 7 - enthusiast, adventurer, fear 8 - challenger, leader, anger 9 - mediator, peacemaker, anger
I'm one of those self-improvement types. I'm always looking for ways to be better, more self-aware, more mature, and less of who I don't need to be.
 
Enter the Enneagram.
 
So, I'll keep this quick: there's nine different personalities associated with the Enneagram—and tons of books that can help you understand more about yourself and others.
 
The best thing about the Enneagram is how it lets you explore your shadows. These are the places in yourself where you've buried pain. For most of us, that pain is still showing up today, messing up our lives.
 
And we'd be better off without it.
 
I've learned to be
  • more patient
  • less pushy
  • more of a gray thinker
  • not so controlling
  • less impulsive
  • a better leader

Which type are you?

I hope the Enneagram helps.

Snippet from The Price of a Beating Heart
I grab his hair hard, as he likes. Harder when he asks, as his pain tolerance is high, and pull him from our kiss. A deep hum comes from his throat; I rise and smell him. “You are sweet. May I taste?” the price of a beating heart by deon ashleigh
