Enneagram Quiz: How Would You Cross the River?

You can take an Enneagram quiz to help you determine your personality type.

The Enneagram quiz that I’d like to share: How would you cross the river?

There are many online tests but this is a favourite Enneagram quiz of mine. Also, as an update, I’ve benefited so much from the learnings over the years that I have since become an Enneagram Executive Coach accredited with the International Enneagram Association. I now use the Enneagram to help guide others in their personal growth.

If you don’t already know, the Enneagram is an excellent profiling tool. It describes your personality attributes. You can be one of 9 personality types. According to the Enneagram quiz,  your personality type influences how you would cross the river.

Detach from Your Money Drama

What is standing in your way of abundance could be money drama that is playing in your head. It may well be the same script that has been playing for many years. Unfortunately, while there are some positive themes, the script plays a mostly negative one especially in the area concerning money. In fact, there are days when it is kind of like a soap play.

The Problem is Not the Problem

“The problem is not the problem. The problem is your attitude about the problem. Do you understand?” Captain Jack Sparrow

Last Saturday, I was attending a talk when the presenter showed a slide that had the saying: “The problem is not the problem. The problem is your attitude to the problem.” Although the topic that was discussed that day was on how to handle an emotional teenager, it got me reflecting. It would appear that the saying is just as applicable for any one of us adults. So I thought that it would be nice to share more of my thoughts on this post.

To begin with, we believe that the problems we have start externally. We serve our egos by attempting to fix blame on others. And so it becomes the the fault of our parents, our caregivers, teachers, friends, colleagues, superiors, our children or our pet dog when anything goes wrong. It may also be the fault of the economy, the government, the financial institutions, the big boss and the big firms with influential power. Last but not least, it may be the fault of God!

50 Shades of Fear

I thought it would be interesting to share my perspective on 50 shades of fear. Clients had been coming to me with their issues which are rooted in various forms of fear. In case you are wondering, I did not read the book 50 Shades of Grey nor have watched the movie. However, I would like to borrow the theme of 50 shades.

As we already know, fear can manifest at different levels and degrees of negative emotions; which is influenced by the story that our minds tell. Our fears make up the stories we tell ourselves.

For instance, fear can be in the form of worry….or in more severe cases, it can grow into depression. Fear can also be in the form of nervousness or a diagnosed panic disorder. We can also express fear in the form of blame or if we feel it strongly, we become antagonistic. Obvious symptoms can range from breaking out in cold sweat, turning ashen white, or the racing of our hearts. Whether a niggling sense of anxiety or intense anger, all are signs of fear.

7 Ways to Resolve Money Conflicts For Saving Your Marriage

“Treasure your relationships, not your possessions.” Anthony J D Angelo

You may perceive two hundred dollars as small change, but your partner kicks up a big fuss.

You may deem the purchase of an item as a necessary expense, but your partner thinks otherwise.

You may place a cap for spending on a vacation at one thousand dollars, but your partner has a different quantum in mind.

Then, there is the question of fairness. Who is entitled to spend the excess money in the joint account first?

With the end of the honeymoon phase in your marriage, you could find that money is the constant thing that you had been bickering about with your spouse.

Well, you are not alone.

It is common for couples to fight over money matters. As I wrote last week, money has been cited as a major factor leading to a marriage breakdown.

How I manifested a Dream Home with a $700,000 Price Reduction

“Play the picture in your mind – focus on the end result.” The Secret movie

I am so excited! I finally bought a new home. Not only is my new place located centrally, just minutes away from the shopping belt – but I also purchased it at S$700,000 (US$560,000) below its asking price.

It is like a miracle come true for a number of reasons. We have been looking for a new place periodically for some years. Many weekends were spent looking at places up for sale. Until three months ago, the arduous search that spanned a huge radius did not yield results.

Then, unexpectedly, we found one exactly where we would like it to be. Located near the hustle and bustle of city life but tucked in an exclusive corner, my new home is rather convenient. Most importantly, it is within walking distance of my daughter’s school.

The best part of it all is securing the deal at a price that was below the seller’s asking price and also below bank valuation. The difference of S$700,000 (US$560,000) made it possible for us to own a place in our desired location.

How to Practice the Art of Dreaming to Attract Abundance

“All the breaks you need in life wait within your imagination. Imagination is the workshop of your mind, capable of turning mind energy into accomplishment and wealth.” Napoleon Hill

It can be hard to believe yourself as a powerful creative being, with the ability to change your current reality simply by directing your thoughts. I have had tremendous difficulty with this myself as well, especially in the beginning when I started trying to practice deliberate thinking. Most of us invariably find ourselves slipping back into a world of victimhood. Any notion about being powerful co-creators gets instantly thrown out of the window when we are faced with stress.

Yet, the Law of Deliberate Creation is a law. In addition, there is already scientific evidence to support how our reality is influenced by what we believe in. Quantum physics has shown that just by the act of observation, a person can alter reality.
