EnneaThought for the Day

After reading a tweet from Shauna Niequist, I decided to sign up for EnneaThought for the Day after taking a free personality test from the Enneagram Institute.  I am a total 6, the Loyalist, and sometimes the insights I read about me are so, well, insightful.  For example, the email I received today said this:

Today, see if you can be aware of your "excuse" for not being Present. "When I have every area of my life handled and nothing can take me by surprise, then I'll show up."

Busted.  Part of why I keep a planner and a calendar and multiple mental post-it notes is because I don't want to be caught off-guard by anything.  I'm always planning for future events, hoping that they will make me happy, but all events come and go and I'm still me, happy or otherwise. 

Maybe it's because I'm on the cusp of my 30th birthday or maybe it's because I don't make time to do any deep thinking for myself and I need a computer-generated email to do it for me, but I am totally loving my daily EnneaThought and the way it helps me become more of who I am.
