Santa & the Enneagram:
Generosity All Year Long
In our Friday Crew, we learned that Santa is generous in a way where he doesn’t over-extend himself. He challenges himself, squeezing down that chimney & all, but he doesn’t drive himself crazy to be someone he’s not, just so he can be liked by those around him. He operates within his personality & he does so generously. And we are better for it.
We, too, can carry generosity within the scope of our personality so that it doesn't feel like pressure & an overextension of our capacities.
Below is one way every Enneagram type can use their personality in the way of generosity.
