Are You Ready…

To Stop Reacting to Your Circumstances and Start Responding to Your Life?

“Between stimulus and response, there is a space. In that space lies our freedom and our power to choose our response.”

-Dr. Viktor Frankl

Your life comes down to a choice, really one choice. Either…

You Choose to React to Your Circumstances...

To react is to forfeit your power to choose, remain powerless over your conditions, and live as a victim of your circumstances.
Or You Choose to Respond to Your Life...

To respond is to take back your power to choose, awaken the defiant power of the spirit within you, and defy your circumstances.

This is the choice, your choice, and make no mistake about it - not to choose is a choice.

The problem is that all too often we don’t know what we are choosing, how we are choosing, or that we even have a choice.

This is where the Enneagram comes in.

The Enneagram is an ancient roadmap made up of 9 numbers, 9 personality types, or 9 versions of us - our “false self” shows up when we fail to choose, react to our circumstances and forfeit our power of choice.

Let’s Play a Game

Nine numbers walk into a bar and this is how they “react”…

Something's Imperfect...

“Hmmm, what’s wrong here? Let me just fix that. While I’m at it, let's fix you too. Out of my way. I’ve got to make it perfect!”
Who Needs Me...

“Hi, strangers! Who needs me? Put that down, let me do that! So what if you don’t know me. Don’t you want me? Don’t you love me?”
Who Sees Me...

“I’m here! Who can I impress? Watch how hard I work. So what if it’s a party, success doesn’t rest, and I gotta be the best!”
Something's Missing...

“I’m here, but you can’t see me, no one can, not really, not my soul! No, I don’t want a drink! That’ll make the suffering go away!
Can I Leave Yet...

“Do I have to be here? This is exhausting. Parties don’t make sense. Want to talk physics? No? How about coding? Can I leave yet?
Something's Wrong...

“Something’s wrong, I just know it. Who’s in charge? I’ll be near the fire exit, but don’t worry, I’ve got maps. When a fire breaks out, I’ll be back!”
Where We Going Next...

“Let’s get the party started! Where’s the action? Did you hear the joke about the depressing 4? I‘m bored. Is there an afterparty? Where we going next?
Out Of My Way...

“Who's in charge? Out of my way! What do you mean ‘chill out!’? Don’t try to control me! I’ll show you angry! What do you think I’m weak?!!!!
Am I In Your Way...

“Woah, this is noisy & intense! Don’t be silly, I don’t have needs. I’ll just be over there, outside the conflict zone, hiding in plain sight.”
