Life Balance and the Enneagram
What I have witnessed in myself and others, is that our gifts and strengths when out of balance, become our greatest challenge. I liken it to having blinkers on that the race horses are often seen wearing to keep their focus straight ahead on the track. When we have our blinkers on and are focused on the very thing that our personality tunes into with all of our energy, it is safe to say that there are aspects of our lives that are getting the short end of the stick. That action typically does not act in our favour long term. It is a way that we get ourselves “stuck” so to speak. Let me give you a brief run down for each type.
