It took 43 years of experimentation, trial and error to find my purpose. Most of us struggle our whole lives with the idea of who we are and what we should do - and with no support, most of us give up. But for some of us, there is a drive and a pull inside to live our most purpose filled authentic life. It's a path full of twists and turns, disappointments, excitement and adventure. A crazy path of experimentation and! I wouldn't have it any other way.
--> If we resist the journey we will actually be disappointed when we get to our end goal once the dopamine hit has worn off.
--> Dopamine is a sneaky neurotransmitter: it keeps you in the rat race but once you get what you want, you still feel empty inside.
--> You are motivated but you are not fulfilled so you will always have to look for the next thing.
Reddit is one of my favorite social platforms because people tend to be most authentic there under the protection of anonymity. I always follow the career related subs. To my dismay I have read multiple times when people have gotten long awaited promotions and then have actually felt like they made a mistake and wanted to go back to their previous role. They finally got the dopamine high of the promotion but then reality set in, and the reality is that the promotion has nothing to do with their purpose and fulfillment. Instead it is more responsibility that you come to resent since it doesn't add to your happiness.
--> Money and status can't buy happiness after a certain level of material comfort is reached. Wealthy people have problems and are unhappy just the same.
When we are living a purpose driven life, we don't want to wear a mask for someone else's benefit, we want our life to mean something, we want to be authentically ourselves for ourselves and no one else.
It sounds like a fairy tale since we are conditioned since birth to conform to others' expectations and to fit into already existing boxes. People who choose to live on their terms are labeled as weirdos or black sheep so we are discouraged from it. Yet there are 8 billion of us, all made to be unique and different in our own way so as a whole we can come together and create magic.
Enter Human Design, a system that explains how each one of our unique energies works and helps us understand how to best operate in the world with our gifts and how to become our most authentic and purposeful self.
--> I love any system that focuses on the How and not just the Why.
Human Design is a complex system but to try and simplify it, for me it combines the wisdom of a coach, a therapist and an astrologer. I think that all parents should look at their children's Human Design to inform how to raise each child to be their most authentic selves instead of conditioning them into their Not-Self from Day 1. As adults we can use Human Design to validate how we move in the world
The No- Self is a very important concept in Human Design. It is related to how we are conditioned to be by our family, at school, at work and in our social circles. Just think of all the women who try to show up with masculine energy in order to compete in male dominated fields. I have had many such managers and they have each failed themselves and their teams because they are not living their truth but are playing by someone else's rules. Comparison is a killer for Human Design which just wants us to embody our most unique selves.
I love using Human Design to validate and coach clients. If you ever work with Human Design, you will have so many AHA moments. Your whole life will start to make sense. There will be less self doubt and self-sabotage which are of the conditioned Not-Self version of you.
--> Best of all, once you know your gifts and how to optimize your energy levels given your Human Design, you will understand which careers and life paths are most fulfilling to you.
Now Human Design is one of the main pillars of my coaching practice. It provides us with invaluable information to help you reach your goals no matter what they are in a way that works uniquely for you. I don't believe in one size fits all solutions and I am thankful that Human Design exists to guide us into living our most authentic lives. Let me show you what that looks like.
