The Savvy Snippet: Be Very Afraid!

May 26th, 2008 by Cristina Favreau

If you know a little bit about the Enneagram, my personality (type 6) is fear-based. Over the years, I’ve learned to tap into my fears –using them as cues– instead of running away or denying them. Is it any wonder why I chose the following for this week’s quote?

Courage is doing what you’re afraid to do. There can be no courage unless you’re scared. — Eddie Rickenbacker

I hope this inspires you to push through your fears and find the courage to do something you never thought possible!

  • Great to see the Enneagram come up in a business blog. I just mentioned it as an interview tool in my blog series Insider's View--an employee's perspective in a small business setting. It is part of Mark Silver's blog at http://www.heartofbusiness.com/blog.

    I'm a 9 (peacemaker) with a 1 wing and a one-to-one subtype, btw.
  • While working on my new blog today I came across your site. Some very helpful information as well as this helpful quote. thanks for some needed inspiration from a new entrepreneur.
  • Thanks Megan!

    The reason why I started The Savvy Snippet was because I had filed away so many great quotes for later use, but they just weren't finding their way out.

    As I go over my collection of quotes, I get so excited about sharing them each week! Some weeks, it's hard to choose just one!

    I'm glad others find them insightful, inspiring and fun.
  • LOVE the quote! I'll be filing that one away for later use. Thanks!
