00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:03.160
Welcome back to be the best version of yourself, a
2
00:00:03.240 --> 00:00:07.559
human design and personal growth podcast. Today we're talking about
3
00:00:07.559 --> 00:00:09.960
goals and vision, but not in the way we've been
4
00:00:10.000 --> 00:00:13.439
taught for most of our lives. Not through pressure, force,
5
00:00:13.759 --> 00:00:16.079
or the idea that you need to become someone else
6
00:00:16.199 --> 00:00:20.480
in order to be successful, not through pushing harder, fixing yourself,
7
00:00:20.600 --> 00:00:24.039
or chasing a dream that was never truly yours. Instead,
8
00:00:24.440 --> 00:00:28.120
this conversation is an invitation to soften, to step away
9
00:00:28.120 --> 00:00:32.600
from the noise of hustle culture, endless manifesting checklists, and
10
00:00:32.719 --> 00:00:35.840
rigid five year plans that don't take your energy into account.
11
00:00:36.479 --> 00:00:39.640
Because the truth is, vision is not meant to feel exhausting,
12
00:00:40.159 --> 00:00:44.359
and goals are not meant to disconnect you from yourself. Today,
13
00:00:44.719 --> 00:00:48.719
we're exploring how human design energy types approach goals, vision,
14
00:00:49.039 --> 00:00:52.560
and future planning in a way that feels aligned, sustainable,
15
00:00:52.960 --> 00:00:55.880
and deeply true to who you are. Because not everyone
16
00:00:55.960 --> 00:00:58.759
is designed to plan the same way. Not everyone is
17
00:00:58.799 --> 00:01:02.759
here to wake up driven by constant motivation or external ambition.
18
00:01:03.439 --> 00:01:07.599
Not everyone is meant to chase, initiate, or build NonStop.
19
00:01:08.000 --> 00:01:10.879
Some people are designed to respond to let life show
20
00:01:10.920 --> 00:01:14.280
them what's next. Some are here to initiate, to feel
21
00:01:14.280 --> 00:01:17.560
an inner impulse and begin something new. Some are here
22
00:01:17.599 --> 00:01:21.480
to guide, to see systems, patterns and pathways others can't
23
00:01:21.560 --> 00:01:25.000
yet see, and some are here to reflect, to move
24
00:01:25.040 --> 00:01:29.920
with time cycles and deep sensitivity to their environment. None
25
00:01:29.959 --> 00:01:32.599
of these paths are better than the other. They are
26
00:01:32.640 --> 00:01:36.000
simply different ways of moving through life. And when goals
27
00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:39.280
are created in harmony with your energy, when they honor
28
00:01:39.319 --> 00:01:43.879
your natural rhythm instead of fighting it, something shifts. Goals
29
00:01:43.879 --> 00:01:47.920
stop feeling heavy, vision stops feeling distant or overwhelming. The
30
00:01:47.959 --> 00:01:50.319
future no longer feels like something you have to force
31
00:01:50.359 --> 00:01:55.760
into existence. It starts to feel alive, inviting, and possible.
32
00:01:56.519 --> 00:01:59.079
So before we go any further, I invite you to
33
00:01:59.079 --> 00:02:02.680
take a gentle breath with me. Let your shoulders soften,
34
00:02:03.359 --> 00:02:08.280
let the idea of doing it right fall away, and together,
35
00:02:08.840 --> 00:02:12.439
let's explore what vision really means for you through the
36
00:02:12.439 --> 00:02:16.039
wisdom of your own energy. Human design gently reminds us
37
00:02:16.039 --> 00:02:18.680
of something we often forget in a world obsessed with
38
00:02:18.759 --> 00:02:24.360
productivity and achievement. Alignment always comes before action, before we
39
00:02:24.439 --> 00:02:28.360
set goals, before we plan the future, before we decide
40
00:02:28.599 --> 00:02:31.319
who we think we should become. So many of us
41
00:02:31.400 --> 00:02:34.240
were taught that goals are something we force ourselves toward,
42
00:02:34.840 --> 00:02:38.719
that success comes from pushing harder, ignoring our energy, and
43
00:02:38.800 --> 00:02:42.400
proving our worth through constant effort. But human design offers
44
00:02:42.439 --> 00:02:45.599
a different truth. Goals are not meant to override your energy.
45
00:02:46.000 --> 00:02:48.560
They are meant to follow it. Your energy is not
46
00:02:48.599 --> 00:02:52.080
a problem to fix, it is a compass. When goals
47
00:02:52.080 --> 00:02:56.719
are created from conditioning, from comparison with others, external pressure,
48
00:02:57.080 --> 00:02:59.759
fear of falling behind, or the belief that you are
49
00:02:59.840 --> 00:03:03.840
not enough yet, they slowly drain us. Even the most
50
00:03:03.879 --> 00:03:07.240
beautiful dreams can turn into exhaustion when they are rooted
51
00:03:07.280 --> 00:03:11.719
in obligation instead of alignment. This is where burnout, frustration,
52
00:03:11.919 --> 00:03:14.639
and self doubt begin to take hold. But when goals
53
00:03:14.639 --> 00:03:18.680
are created from your strategy and energy type, something shifts.
54
00:03:19.080 --> 00:03:22.800
They stop feeling heavy, they stop feeling forced. They start
55
00:03:22.800 --> 00:03:27.800
feeling natural, nourishing, and empowering. Aligned goals don't demand that
56
00:03:27.840 --> 00:03:30.639
you become someone else. They invite you to become more
57
00:03:30.680 --> 00:03:34.080
of who you already are. Human design teaches us that
58
00:03:34.159 --> 00:03:36.680
each energy type moves through life in a unique way,
59
00:03:37.199 --> 00:03:41.400
with its own rhythm, timing, and flow. Vision is not
60
00:03:41.520 --> 00:03:45.319
one size fits all. What inspires one person may completely
61
00:03:45.400 --> 00:03:49.280
drain another, and that's not a flaw, it's design. When
62
00:03:49.280 --> 00:03:53.360
you understand how your energy works, your relationship with goals changes.
63
00:03:53.919 --> 00:03:57.400
Instead of asking what should I want, you begin to
64
00:03:57.479 --> 00:04:02.000
ask what actually feels right for me? Instead of chasing outcomes,
65
00:04:02.439 --> 00:04:08.199
you start listening for signals, excitement, clarity, recognition, or inner knowing.
66
00:04:08.680 --> 00:04:12.360
From this place, vision becomes less about control and more
67
00:04:12.400 --> 00:04:16.560
about trust, less about pressure, and more about presence. So
68
00:04:16.800 --> 00:04:19.600
as we move forward, we'll walk through each human design
69
00:04:19.720 --> 00:04:22.319
energy type, not to tell you what your goal should be,
70
00:04:22.759 --> 00:04:25.199
but to help you recognize how vision wants to move
71
00:04:25.240 --> 00:04:28.720
through you. When you honor your design, your future doesn't
72
00:04:28.720 --> 00:04:32.720
need to be forced. It unfolds. Generators are the builders
73
00:04:32.720 --> 00:04:35.879
of the world. They are here to create, sustain, and
74
00:04:36.240 --> 00:04:40.079
master what genuinely lights them up, not what they think
75
00:04:40.120 --> 00:04:43.560
they should want, but what their energy naturally responds to.
76
00:04:44.120 --> 00:04:46.680
For a generator, goals are not meant to be forced
77
00:04:46.720 --> 00:04:50.240
from the mind. They are not born from pressure, comparison,
78
00:04:50.560 --> 00:04:54.560
or the question what should I be doing with my life? Instead,
79
00:04:54.920 --> 00:04:58.759
true goals rise quietly from the body, from that unmistakable
80
00:04:58.759 --> 00:05:03.279
feeling of yes, a spark of excitement, a sense of satisfaction,
81
00:05:03.839 --> 00:05:07.680
a pull towards something that feels alive. Your energy speaks
82
00:05:07.720 --> 00:05:11.480
before your mind does. When a generator listens to their body,
83
00:05:11.920 --> 00:05:15.480
vision begins to form naturally. Clarity doesn't come from long
84
00:05:15.560 --> 00:05:19.199
term planning or rigid goal setting sessions. It comes from
85
00:05:19.279 --> 00:05:23.680
asking gentle, embodied questions, what excites my body right now?
86
00:05:24.000 --> 00:05:27.839
What feels satisfying to give my energy to? What opportunities
87
00:05:27.879 --> 00:05:32.079
am I naturally responding to? For generators, goals are meant
88
00:05:32.120 --> 00:05:34.959
to be felt, not forced. They don't need to be
89
00:05:34.959 --> 00:05:38.560
mapped out years in advance. In fact, too much planning
90
00:05:38.560 --> 00:05:42.360
can disconnect you from your natural flow. Your vision unfolds
91
00:05:42.360 --> 00:05:49.000
through life's invitations, conversations, experiences, unexpected opportunities that awaken your
92
00:05:49.000 --> 00:05:53.040
sacral response. This doesn't mean you lack direction. It means
93
00:05:53.040 --> 00:05:57.759
your direction is alive, responsive, and ever evolving. Your path
94
00:05:57.800 --> 00:06:00.720
becomes clearer each time you honor what feels good to
95
00:06:00.839 --> 00:06:05.160
engage with and release what drains you. Trust builds not
96
00:06:05.199 --> 00:06:09.399
through control, but through repeated alignment. When a generator follows
97
00:06:09.399 --> 00:06:14.319
goals born from response, something beautiful happens. Work becomes fulfilling.
98
00:06:14.839 --> 00:06:19.399
Effort feels energizing. Progress feels natural there is a deep
99
00:06:19.480 --> 00:06:22.879
grounded sense of satisfaction, the quiet knowing that you are
100
00:06:22.959 --> 00:06:25.519
using your life force in the right way. But when
101
00:06:25.519 --> 00:06:28.759
goals are chosen from the mind alone to please others,
102
00:06:29.000 --> 00:06:33.959
to keep up, or to meet expectations, frustration appears not
103
00:06:34.079 --> 00:06:37.839
as a failure, but as a message. Frustration is your
104
00:06:37.879 --> 00:06:42.000
body gently saying this is not for you. It's an
105
00:06:42.040 --> 00:06:47.199
invitation to pause, to listen again, to recalibrate. Your vision
106
00:06:47.199 --> 00:06:51.720
doesn't need a rigid timeline. It needs trust, presence, and
107
00:06:51.800 --> 00:06:55.240
permission to evolve. When you allow your goals to emerge
108
00:06:55.240 --> 00:06:59.639
from response, you stop chasing fulfillment and start living it.
109
00:07:00.120 --> 00:07:03.160
Manifesting generators are not here to follow a straight line.
110
00:07:03.600 --> 00:07:07.120
Your energy moves in waves, sparks, and sudden shifts. You
111
00:07:07.160 --> 00:07:10.480
are designed to explore, to sample life widely, and to
112
00:07:10.560 --> 00:07:13.600
learn through movement. What excites you today may not be
113
00:07:13.600 --> 00:07:16.519
what excites you tomorrow, and that is not a flaw.
114
00:07:17.079 --> 00:07:20.000
It is your design. Your goals were never meant to
115
00:07:20.000 --> 00:07:23.279
be rigid or fixed. They are meant to breathe, expand,
116
00:07:23.399 --> 00:07:26.600
and change shape as you do. As a manifesting generator,
117
00:07:26.920 --> 00:07:29.879
you carry the permission to evolve. You are allowed to
118
00:07:30.000 --> 00:07:34.040
change direction without explanation. You are allowed to update your
119
00:07:34.120 --> 00:07:37.120
vision when it no longer lights you up. You are
120
00:07:37.160 --> 00:07:40.199
allowed to outgrow goals that once felt aligned but no
121
00:07:40.279 --> 00:07:43.120
longer match the person you are becoming. When you try
122
00:07:43.160 --> 00:07:47.439
to force consistency for the sake of appearances, your energy contracts,
123
00:07:47.800 --> 00:07:52.360
frustration creeps in, the joy disappears. But when your goals
124
00:07:52.360 --> 00:07:59.319
feel playful, flexible, and alive, your energy responds instantly with enthusiasm, momentum,
125
00:07:59.399 --> 00:08:02.600
and create a flow. Your body always knows the truth.
126
00:08:02.839 --> 00:08:05.959
It asks you simple questions. Does this still excite me?
127
00:08:06.519 --> 00:08:10.199
Does this feel expansive or heavy? Am I continuing out
128
00:08:10.240 --> 00:08:13.680
of alignment? Or am I allowing myself to pivot without guilt?
129
00:08:14.319 --> 00:08:17.959
For manifesting generators, vision is not about staying the same.
130
00:08:18.600 --> 00:08:21.759
It is about staying true. You are not here to
131
00:08:21.800 --> 00:08:25.480
prove reliability through repetition. You are here to model what
132
00:08:25.519 --> 00:08:29.560
it looks like to follow excitement, to trust, curiosity, and
133
00:08:29.600 --> 00:08:33.399
to let life reorganize around your evolving truth. Every pivot
134
00:08:33.440 --> 00:08:37.039
you make is not a failure. It is feedback. Every
135
00:08:37.120 --> 00:08:41.480
redirection is not a setback, it is refinement. Your future
136
00:08:41.519 --> 00:08:44.919
does not unfold through rigid plans or long term certainty.
137
00:08:45.480 --> 00:08:48.879
It unfolds when you listen closely to what energizes you now,
138
00:08:49.639 --> 00:08:52.440
when you give yourself permission to follow what feels alive,
139
00:08:52.960 --> 00:08:56.360
your path becomes surprisingly efficient, even if it doesn't look
140
00:08:56.440 --> 00:09:01.759
logical from the outside. Trust your curiosity, trust your responsiveness,
141
00:09:02.200 --> 00:09:05.879
Trust the inner spark that says this way for now,
142
00:09:06.519 --> 00:09:10.000
your vision is meant to evolve, just like you. Manifestors
143
00:09:10.039 --> 00:09:12.360
are not here to wait for life to give them permission.
144
00:09:12.919 --> 00:09:16.120
They are here to begin to ignite, to set things
145
00:09:16.120 --> 00:09:19.399
in motion. There is something deeply different about the way
146
00:09:19.440 --> 00:09:23.919
manifestors experience goals and vision. Their direction doesn't emerge through
147
00:09:23.960 --> 00:09:30.639
external validation or careful planning. It rises from within, often suddenly, unexpectedly,
148
00:09:30.840 --> 00:09:35.639
and with undeniable clarity. A spark appears, a knowing lands
149
00:09:35.639 --> 00:09:39.600
in the body, A quiet but powerful urge says now.
150
00:09:40.440 --> 00:09:43.559
This inner impulse is the language of the manifestor. It
151
00:09:43.639 --> 00:09:47.159
is not logical, and it does not always come with explanations,
152
00:09:47.639 --> 00:09:51.039
yet it carries truth. When manifestors try to ignore these
153
00:09:51.039 --> 00:09:54.399
impulses or delay them for the sake of approval, their
154
00:09:54.519 --> 00:10:00.399
energy contracts. Frustration, anger, or restlessness can surface not as
155
00:10:00.440 --> 00:10:04.399
failure but as signals that their initiating nature is being suppressed.
156
00:10:04.799 --> 00:10:08.120
Goals for a manifestor are not meant to be slow, collaborative,
157
00:10:08.159 --> 00:10:11.879
brainstorming processes. They are meant to be self directed movements
158
00:10:11.919 --> 00:10:15.720
that honor independence and autonomy. The moment a goal begins
159
00:10:15.759 --> 00:10:20.399
to feel restrictive or controlled, the manifestor's creative fire dims.
160
00:10:20.879 --> 00:10:24.320
Manifestors thrive when their goals allow freedom to move at
161
00:10:24.320 --> 00:10:28.279
their own pace, space to act without micromanagement and authority
162
00:10:28.320 --> 00:10:31.240
over how and when things begin. Their role is not
163
00:10:31.279 --> 00:10:34.360
to carry a vision forever. It is to start the wave,
164
00:10:34.759 --> 00:10:38.000
to open the door, to create momentum so others can follow.
165
00:10:38.639 --> 00:10:41.919
One of the most important lessons for manifestors is learning
166
00:10:41.960 --> 00:10:46.960
to trust their impulses without guilt. Not every beginning needs justification,
167
00:10:47.399 --> 00:10:51.799
not every idea needs consensus. The impulse itself is enough.
168
00:10:52.240 --> 00:10:55.720
At the same time, human design teaches manifestors the power
169
00:10:55.759 --> 00:10:59.720
of informing. Informing is not asking for permission. It is
170
00:10:59.720 --> 00:11:02.759
simple letting others know what is about to happen. This
171
00:11:02.919 --> 00:11:07.840
softens resistance, reduces misunderstanding, and allows their energy to move
172
00:11:07.919 --> 00:11:12.080
more smoothly through the world. When a manifestor says, this
173
00:11:12.120 --> 00:11:16.080
is what I'm starting, rather than is this okay? Their
174
00:11:16.200 --> 00:11:19.399
energy flows with far less friction. The future for a
175
00:11:19.440 --> 00:11:23.440
manifestor opens not through waiting, but through courage, through the
176
00:11:23.480 --> 00:11:27.320
willingness to act before certainty appears, through honoring the truth
177
00:11:27.360 --> 00:11:31.879
that initiation itself is their gift. When manifestors allow themselves
178
00:11:31.879 --> 00:11:37.320
to start without apology, without shrinking, without permission, they step
179
00:11:37.399 --> 00:11:41.120
fully into their role as initiators of change, shaping paths
180
00:11:41.159 --> 00:11:44.559
that did not exist before, and in doing so, they
181
00:11:44.559 --> 00:11:47.960
don't just create their own future, They create possibilities for
182
00:11:48.000 --> 00:11:51.440
everyone around them. Projectors are not here to chase goals
183
00:11:51.480 --> 00:11:54.279
through effort. They are not designed to prove their value
184
00:11:54.279 --> 00:11:59.000
by working harder, longer, or faster than everyone else. Your
185
00:11:59.120 --> 00:12:03.159
energy is different. Where others build through sustained action, you
186
00:12:03.200 --> 00:12:06.360
build through perception. Your true power lies in seeing what
187
00:12:06.399 --> 00:12:11.799
others miss, patterns, systems, inefficiencies, and potential. You are here
188
00:12:11.840 --> 00:12:15.080
to guide energy, not to generate it. Because of this,
189
00:12:15.519 --> 00:12:18.240
your vision for the future cannot be created through force.
190
00:12:18.639 --> 00:12:23.120
It emerges through clarity. For projectors, vision begins with questions,
191
00:12:23.519 --> 00:12:27.000
not plans. What systems do I want to guide? Where
192
00:12:27.000 --> 00:12:30.960
does my insight naturally bring improvement or harmony? What kind
193
00:12:31.000 --> 00:12:33.879
of life allows me enough space to rest, observe, and
194
00:12:34.000 --> 00:12:37.960
refine my wisdom. These questions are not abstract. They are
195
00:12:37.960 --> 00:12:41.039
the foundation of aligned goal setting for a projector. When
196
00:12:41.039 --> 00:12:44.080
a projector tries to chase goals like a generator through
197
00:12:44.120 --> 00:12:48.480
constant effort, exhaustion and bitterness often follow. But when goals
198
00:12:48.480 --> 00:12:53.120
are shaped around energy efficiency, something shifts. You begin to ask,
199
00:12:53.519 --> 00:12:56.519
how can I work smarter not harder? Where is my
200
00:12:56.600 --> 00:13:00.360
presence more powerful than my effort? Which environments at actually
201
00:13:00.399 --> 00:13:04.000
recognize my value? Recognition is not ego for a projector,
202
00:13:04.440 --> 00:13:08.840
it is nourishment when your wisdom is seen, invited, and valued.
203
00:13:09.240 --> 00:13:13.559
Your guidance lands when it isn't. Your energy naturally withdraws,
204
00:13:14.000 --> 00:13:17.720
not as failure but as protection. Your goals work best
205
00:13:17.759 --> 00:13:20.759
when they are rooted in invitations aligned with your insight.
206
00:13:21.360 --> 00:13:25.080
These invitations might not always come immediately, but when they do,
207
00:13:25.639 --> 00:13:29.600
they open doors that force never could. Your future is
208
00:13:29.600 --> 00:13:32.799
not something you push into existence, It is something you
209
00:13:32.840 --> 00:13:38.639
become visible for. Alignment creates magnetism. When your vision includes rest,
210
00:13:39.360 --> 00:13:44.200
real rest, not just recovery from burnout, your perception sharpens,
211
00:13:44.679 --> 00:13:49.200
your voice becomes clearer, Your guidance becomes unmistakable. You don't
212
00:13:49.200 --> 00:13:52.000
need to convince anyone of your worth. The right people
213
00:13:52.039 --> 00:13:54.200
will recognize it when you are living in alignment with
214
00:13:54.240 --> 00:13:58.320
your design, and from that place, your vision unfolds naturally,
215
00:13:58.879 --> 00:14:02.759
not through striving, but through being seen. Reflectors are not
216
00:14:02.840 --> 00:14:06.000
here to chase the future. They are here to experience it,
217
00:14:06.399 --> 00:14:09.200
to feel it moving through their body, and to mirror
218
00:14:09.200 --> 00:14:12.360
its truth back to the world. If you are a reflector,
219
00:14:12.759 --> 00:14:15.759
your life is not meant to be rushed, scheduled tightly,
220
00:14:16.240 --> 00:14:19.480
or forced into fixed timelines. Your energy does not move
221
00:14:19.519 --> 00:14:23.159
in straight lines. It moves in cycles, responding to the moon,
222
00:14:23.360 --> 00:14:26.799
to people, to places, and to the subtle shifts of
223
00:14:26.840 --> 00:14:30.080
life itself. This is why traditional goal setting often feels
224
00:14:30.159 --> 00:14:34.200
uncomfortable for you. It's not that you lack vision. It's
225
00:14:34.240 --> 00:14:38.320
that your vision reveals itself slowly, layer by layer as
226
00:14:38.320 --> 00:14:42.080
you move through time. For you, clarity doesn't arrive in
227
00:14:42.120 --> 00:14:46.679
a single moment. It unfolds through observation, through noticing how
228
00:14:46.720 --> 00:14:50.039
you feel in different environments, through sensing how your energy
229
00:14:50.159 --> 00:14:56.039
changes around certain people, through watching patterns repeat, dissolve, and transform.
230
00:14:56.559 --> 00:14:59.679
Your future is not something you decide in advance. It's
231
00:14:59.679 --> 00:15:04.159
something you discover Instead of setting rigid goals. Reflectors thrive
232
00:15:04.240 --> 00:15:07.399
when they work with themes and intentions. Themes give you
233
00:15:07.440 --> 00:15:11.440
space to evolve. Intentions allow your wisdom to deepen naturally
234
00:15:11.679 --> 00:15:16.159
without pressure, rather than asking what should I achieve? How
235
00:15:16.159 --> 00:15:18.919
do I want to feel in my life? Which environments
236
00:15:18.919 --> 00:15:22.360
help me feel clear, calm and open? What am I
237
00:15:22.440 --> 00:15:26.120
learning about myself? As time passes, Each cycle teaches you
238
00:15:26.159 --> 00:15:30.000
something new. Each environment reveals a different facet of who
239
00:15:30.039 --> 00:15:33.919
you are. And this is where your wisdom lives. Not
