Values give us a ‘code of conduct’ to follow, and can be thought of as rules or guidelines that we live by. They are a kind of compass that guides you. Our values speak of what we believe in, what we stand for, and what is important to us.

Most of us ponder the questions “Who am I?” or “Why do I do the things I do?”. We’re curious about the motivation behind our actions, and often we look to outside sources to help us better understand ourselves. While personality tests and quizzes like “Which character from The Office are you?” are interesting and fun to take, the Enneagram contains spiritually-guided wisdom and has a unique perspective that can aid people to feel a closer connection to themselves, their values, and better understand the patterns that exist throughout their life.

Think back to the process of growing up. Do you remember growing pains? Physiologically, what happens is that as our bodies stretch and grow; our joints become sore. Sometimes we might even tell our parents about that mysterious soreness, and to our surprise, they chalk it up to “growing pain”.

Do you remember your very first book? Perhaps it was an adventure novel or maybe a simple story about a character’s day. Opening the pages meant that a whole world could come to life before your eyes.
