I just watched The Prestige for the second time, after a long gap. I still think it’s a great movie. I don’t want to say too much about it, but it leaves you thinking…
Anyway…I was just reading about Eneagrams. Type 4 in particular. I haven’t really looked into Eneagrams before, I don’t know what it’s based on, but I’m a bit of a sucker for this type of thing, even if I am sort of a scientist.
Anyway, I seem somewhat to overlap with Type 4 and I found the Personal Growth Recommendations here (https://www.enneagraminstitute.com/type-4/) to be uncannily relevant to me. The simple advice: don’t pay too much attention to your feelings! Don’t put things off until things “feel right” or you feel “ready”.
To quote: “Working consistently in the real world will create a context in which you can discover yourself and your talents.”
This is such simple truth. But to someone who has always prioritised feelings, or been held hostage to them (somewhat dramatic), it is something I struggle to live day to day; even though I now, as someone who has lived a bit, recognise the validity in the sentiment.
