Quotes

"After you land on your main Type, one of the first ways each Type can vary is through the Wings. The Wings are the two numbers directly next to your main Type's number on the Enneagram diagram. What this means is that we access the characteristics of the Type on either side of us while remaining our main Type." - Becoming Us by Beth and Jeff McCord
“The Enneagram is a tool that awakens our compassion for people just as they are, not the people we wish they would become, so our lives would become easier.” - The Road Back to You by Ian Morgan Cron
Knowing who you are, what you deal with, your strengths and your weaknesses, helps you become a better person. - Aaron Lee
Each person and their type is like a puzzle piece. And you can't fix or complete a puzzle with all type ones, right? You can't fix puzzle and complete it with all type twos like me, you have to have all the types to make the picture hole. - Jerrica Lee
