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!

    LOVE the quote! I’ll be filing that one away for later use. Thanks!

    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.

    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.
