“The greatness of the human personality begins at the hour of birth.”
— Maria Montessori

According to the personality testing of The Enneagram there are nine personality types. And there seems to be three main mind-sets that we, as human beings, operate or live in — one that you could call a healthy mode, one that is an average mode, and one that is more unhealthy. Of course there are always some in-between stages as well.

The level we would all like to be functioning in most of the time is our healthy mode. When we are functioning in our healthy state of being we are working at our best level of being. Things flow, things work, we are happy, we are kind. We love ourselves and we love others.

For the most part we fluctuate throughout the day between the three levels and that is perfectly normal to do so. Keep in mind that it is possible to stay for longer and longer periods of the day in the healthy level. Have faith that with the proper awareness of our states of being, we can make the necessary adjustments to keep ourselves feeling and sharing the joy of life.
