: : I like what you wrote. In fact I thought about it today and put it to work. Acting on beliefs is the answer.

: I see some of it, but I'll play devil's advocate for a moment:

: I thought that another problem 6's have is following beliefs blindly whether or not they make sense--this came out in the 1 vs. 6 threads. It seems that your definition of standing firm might play into this.

**That only happens when anxiety has taken force and the six does that as an easy out. Riso lists sixes problem as sloth in self reliance.

: Also, if you act on your beliefs without questioning, and later find the beliefs were wrong, wouldn't that just discourage you from taking action in the future?

**No, you learn and don't repeat the same mistake twice! That applies to everything in life, regardless of type, eh?
