Forty Days of Being a Nine

Enneagram Daily Reflections

Any of us can find aspects of ourselves in any of the numbers of the Enneagram. It is a beautiful tool that identifies your strengths and weaknesses and then helps you to find peace in them. Unlike many personality inventory tools, the Enneagram is a much broader scoped theory that shows your personality when feeling strong and healthy or weaker and not feeling your best. It has a wide range of descriptions, even within a number, by adding additional attributes you may have with the numbers nearest you on the diagram. 

If you are unfamiliar with the Enneagram and the numbers, you will enjoy their descriptions and the wonderful discussion in this video. If you know your number is a Nine, or think you may be one, then you will enjoy the more in-depth conversation with a Nine and the light she shines on your number as you walk in Christ. 

The Enneagram is a profound tool for empathy, so whatever number you find yourself to be, you will grow from your reading about Nine and enhance your relationships across the Enneagram spectrum.
