Hi Ev.

You know I've stopped trying to get people interested in the enneagram. I will introduce it to them, but unless I see some real enthusiasm, I just let it be.

It used to frustrate me a bit. I mean, my gosh, how can people not be blown away by its insight, accuracy and wisdom? But I've slowly accepted the fact that what gets me excited doesn't necessarily do a thing for someone else. There are many types resistant to gaining self-knowledge. As well, many people learn & grow in different ways throughout their lives. The enneagram just isn't a good 'fit' for everyone. Just as some other method of gaining self-knowledge may not work for my type.

I have also found that some show a bit of interest but are not quite ready for it. If they hear me referring to it once in a while, I feel I've put a little bee in their bonnet - & they may eventually look into it at some point.

Cheers!
