Reaching Goals
Dear Peacemaker, what are your goals? Do you have a dream? For a lot of us, dreams and goals are pushed aside when the busyness of life takes precedence, or we simply feel paralyzed about where to start.
The Enneagram teaches that as Nines grow and become healthier, they pick up the positive qualities of type Three, the Achiever. Charming and encouraging, Threes have an energy and drive to get stuff done, and a clear vision of how to reach the next level of potential. By being bold, they are assertive enough to let themselves be fully seen and inspire others to do the same.
As a Nine, when you go to Three in health, your dreams may feel louder, and you may not be able to push them aside as easily. This is a great thing, as it helps you feel purposeful, reflect God in your own unique way, and display a Nine’s virtue of action. However, this surge of daydreaming energy can cause anxiety as you feel the pressure to do something about a dream, but you don’t know how to start. It takes a lot of faith to step forward into action on a dream, but it also takes a lot of faith to wait; maybe God will need to provide the time, energy, or funds for this dream later on.
When you have a bold dream, an uncertain heart, and a desire to honor God, you can start by making small steps in the direction of your dreams.
Following a dream doesn’t always have to be some huge move across the country or spending thousands of dollars to go back to school. Following a dream can look like little steps that reveal a heart that’s curious about what God’s going to do with this dream:
● Small steps can be starting to pray about your dream
● Small steps can be verbalizing your dream to a friend
● Small steps can be starting to save money toward your dream
● Small steps can be googling what action you might take toward your dream
Whatever a small step could look like for you, going to Three in growth means that taking these steps is healthy for you. Acting in boldness toward the desires of your heart will help you grow in confidence, boldness, and faith.

The Enneagram is an ancient personality typology. The theory behind it is that a person assumes one of nine personalities in childhood as a reaction to discovering the world as a scary, unkind place, and thus unlikely to accept their true self. This devotional is designed for Enneagram Nines, also known as the Peacemaker.
