Human Design: Discover the Person You Were Born to Be

by Chetan Parkyn

Awakening to an inner direction and discovering the freedom and fulfillment it brings

Exercising authenticity in your way of being, neither being afraid of the judgments of others nor seeking their approval

Accepting leads to allowing, which catalyzes awakening, resulting in authenticity.

Once we all reacquaint ourselves with the person we were born to be, we are empowered by a connection to our higher truth, our authentic

Discovering our unique being is the only way of reaching fulfillment.

First, be conscious of the messages contained within your centers. These represent an essential starting point and form the foundation to your nature.

The most telling insights and understandings stem from knowing your type, supported by adopting the correct strategy of your authority.

As you’re piecing together your design, you may find, as sometimes happens, that one channel or gate’s meaning appears to contradict another. If this is true for you, all you’re seeing is different facets coming into play according to the needs of the moment. Your authority will inform you which influence takes precedence at any given moment.

Your overall Human Design is more than the sum of its parts.

It’s not just about living your design, of course — it’s about trusting it.

we each have our own precious role to honor, our own place in the cosmic scheme of events.

We live in an age that promotes the belief that you can be anything you wish to be. However, your Human Design is who you were designed to be.

“Each design is a blessing that, when honored, brings about fulfillment and satisfaction.” The focus is not on restriction but on the freedom that comes with the ability to be your true self.

Human Design is the promoter and cultivator of personal freedom, because there is nothing more freeing than being allowed to be yourself.

This system does not remove or tamper with your freedom of choice, nor does it predetermine your life, or fate. It does predetermine your makeup and true nature, but within that predetermination lie your freedom, truth, happiness, an...

Imagine life as a journey that has to be made across water. Your design is a sailboat and you are the sailor. Any experienced seaman knows the design and capability of his boat and uses the elements to make the journey. It won’t matter that differently designed boats may be able to chart a more direct or quicker course; he works with what he’s got, trims the sails, and steers the most expeditious course in alignment with his design and the prevailing wind and weather. Because it is a journey, not a race. Like life.

understand the strengths, weaknesses, and capabilities of your design in order to enjoy the most effective journey, without comparing yours to anyone else’s route, strategy, or tactics.

Being well acquainted and comfortable with your own vessel is a strength in itself and allows you to set a true course. If you attempt to copy the sailing styles of o...

Ultimately, everyone’s destination remains the same — a place called personal fulfillment.

the demands of the modern world can be overwhelming and make everything appear a pressured blur, with little time to appreciate the present because we are so bound by our yesterdays and daunted by the tomorrows.

accept that life is intended to be a mystery to be lived, not a problem to be solved.

the one trait we were all designed to share is the ability to come to our senses and ultimately laugh at the ways of our world.

Human Design doesn’t ask you to be anybody new. It simply invites you to be the person you always have been, deep down.

When you truly understand and accept yourself, you can create the world you have always dreamed about. You can just be yourself.
