Living intentionally starts with awareness.
*The Enneagram is full of wisdom…so we can get out of our own way and be who we were created to be
*We need to evaluate the lens through which we see the world.
*What we don’t know about ourselves can and will hurt us….not to mention others.
*The Enneagram can give us self knowledge and help us identify the parts of us that limit us.
*The Enneagram can help our relationships with others.

because it is positive, it focuses on the WHY not the actual behavior, freedom, potential for growth, it is hopeful and
it accounts for the fluidity of our personality

Enneagram is the way you see the world
