How the Enneagram of Change Shows the Path to Transformation
Learn how the Law of Three, the Law of Time, and the Law of Seven work with the Rules of the Mind to make growth easier and more predictable.
The Moment Everything Feels Hard
You wake up one morning with determination.
“Today I start.”
You feel ready.
You make coffee.
You sit down to take the first step toward the life you want.
Then it hits:
• a heavy thought
• a wave of anxiety
• a distraction
• exhaustion
• doubt whispering “Why bother?”
Your chest tightens.
Your breath changes.
Your motivation collapses.
You stare at the thing you planned to do, and suddenly it feels impossible.
You think:
“Why does this always happen?”
“Why can’t I stay consistent?”
“Why does change feel so hard?”
If you have ever felt this, nothing is wrong with you.
You were missing the map.
The Enneagram of Change gives you that key, using three simple laws that explain how change really works:
• The Law of Three
• The Law of Time
• The Law of Seven
Once you understand them, everything makes sense.
What Is the Life is Easy Philosophy?
The Life is Easy philosophy teaches:
Change becomes easier when you:
• understand the structure of change
• know what to expect
• add support instead of force
• stay present during challenges
Most people fail not because they lack desire, discipline, or talent.
They fail because they don’t know the pattern.
The Law of Three
Why Change Begins
Every change needs three parts:
-
What you want
-
What stands in the way
-
What makes progress possible
Picture this:
You stand at a river.
You see a village on the other side, a place where people live with ease and connection.
Something in you feels drawn to it.
The pull is gentle but steady.
It feels like the kind of place where you could breathe a little deeper, feel more yourself, and be supported.
But the river blocks your way.
Fear rises.
You feel stuck.
Then someone builds a bridge.
Suddenly, crossing feels safe and possible.
That bridge represents ease.
Ease looks like:
• breath
• gratitude
• support
• a smaller step
• a boundary
• a new meaning
Without ease, you push and drown in effort.
With ease, movement returns.
The Law of Time
Why Change Happens in Stages
Change unfolds in seven stages because growth develops in a sequence.
Each stage prepares you for the next.
Crossing the bridge happens one plank at a time.
You don’t step onto the first board and suddenly appear in the village.
This law explains why:
• progress slows
• habits take time
• skills develop gradually
You are not failing.
You are moving through a stage.
Understanding this prevents:
• frustration
• self-judgment
• rushing
• quitting
The Law of Seven
Why Progress Drops Twice
This law explains why two of those stages feel harder than the rest.
You begin strong.
Then suddenly:
• motivation drops
• energy crashes
• doubt increases
• life gets chaotic
Most people stop here.
They think:
“This means I should quit.”
The Law of Seven shows:
This dip is part of the process.
Later, a second dip appears.
It tests commitment again.
Expecting these dips changes everything.
Instead of panic, you adjust.
Instead of quitting, you breathe and continue.
The Enneagram Map
The Full Picture of Change
Now imagine a circle with nine points, like a clock.
This circle is the Enneagram of Change.
It combines:
• the three forces
• the seven stages
• the two dips
• the return to ease
The nine points do not mean nine steps.
They act like markers on a map, showing where you are in the cycle and what comes next.
This map helps you see the whole journey at once.
Three points never move:
Point 6 – Desire
“What do I want?”
Point 3 – Transformation
“What must change in me?”
Point 9 – Ease
“What brings ease right now?”
These create the triangle inside the circle.
The other points show the seven stages and the two moments when progress slows.
This makes the Enneagram the full map of how change works.

How They Work Together
The Enneagram shows:
• where you are
• what comes next
• when dips happen
The Rules of the Mind show:
• why your brain reacts
• why emotions shift
• how to support yourself
Together they explain:
• the structure of change
• the emotional experience of change
• the patterns that help or block progress
How the Cycle Works in Real Life
Here is the journey:
-
You want something
-
You take a step
-
You hit resistance
-
You add ease
-
You move forward
-
You hit a dip
-
You adjust
-
You continue
-
You complete and reset
Then a new desire appears.
The cycle begins again.
Nothing random.
Nothing broken.
The Life is Easy Question
At any point in the cycle, ask:
“What brings ease right now?”
This question finds the missing support.
Then take one small action.
Why This Map Works
Once you see the pattern:
• you stop quitting
• you stop forcing
• you move with the rhythm of change
You feel calmer and more confident.
You realize:
Life was not meant to be a fight.
Life is a cycle.
A bridge.
A rhythm.
When you work with that rhythm, life becomes easier.
