Discovering Your Natural Role in the Cosmic Symphony
What is Human Design?
Human Design is a fascinating system that combines elements of astrology, the I Ching, the Kabbalah, and the chakra system to provide insights into your unique self and/or the many parts of yourself.
How can HD (Human Design) help you?
It can help you to understand the ways of your being such as, why you emotionally respond a certain way, your way of thinking, how you communicate, how you relate to others, just your whole being of existence
and to be quite honest it is quite miraculously accurate. I actually had a lot of resistance to this system at first because of my trigger of being put into a box which in some ways it does but it is a great box of understanding
The reason why I am choosing this as my first topic to write about is because…
So in HD I am a ‘manifestor’. If you are interested in learning about your HD, just search Human Design and you will insert your birthday, time and location. You know the normal information you are asked if you come into contact with a beautifully magical spiritual ‘hippie’ women

Also there are a few other systems that are similar. If you are a guy and attract/attracted to spiritual, hippy, ‘woke’ women then you should probably collect all your charts for.., I’ll list them
Astrology
Human Design
Enneagrams
Gene Keys
It would give you a lot to talk about and maybe increase your chances of winning her heart, if that is your goal.
Anyway I digress..,
I am a ‘Manifestor’
My profile numbers are 2 & 6. Here is my chart for any of you women that are interested haha

Profile Lines In Human Design
In HD, your Profile Line is one of the key components that define your unique path in life. There are twelve Profile Lines, and each one carries its own set of characteristics and tendencies.
But…
I am a 3 until I am 50yrs of age
What I want to talk about is the profile line 3
THE PERFECTIONIST
Which is all about ‘Why I can’t stand failing’
So according to the description of the profile line 3
The profile line 3 thrives with a trial and error process because they are designed to experiment.
I can agree to that, I find it challenging to just follow other paths of success. I still prefer to fail and learn.
Because they learn more from experiencing what doesn’t work than being told what does work
Yes, I don’t like being told what to do. I would prefer to figure it out myself and also be inspired, informed by the information I am being told.
I need to reframe ‘mistakes’ as ‘opportunity’
Being obsessed with getting it ‘right’ is my big ole ego. This shadow will block me from success
I have been obsessed with getting a lot of things right, specifically around wanting to share content because of this I’ve missed out on 3 years of learning because that's how long I have been trying to get it right. So this substack along side my youtube channel have directly impacted from that but as of yesterday I finally said
F*** IT!!
Statistically most businesses fail because they never start. I don’t want to be that statistic
Perfectionism Paralysis
How many of you are suffering from this?
Were you frozen…, and never actually started therefore living a life of regret and ‘what ifs?’
Statistically the most common thing said on a person's death bed is regret of all the things they never did, or started.
Do you want to be part of that statistic?
So apparently according to this profile line 3, I thrive in sharing the process, the before and after of my work, my journey, my process.
“Failure isn’t the opposite of success, it's part of success”
So this substack is more about me rising to the above quote and going forward with the goal to fail, fail hard, fail quickly, learn, apply and grow.
This is more of a public declaration of my feelings, my emotions, my hopes and dreams in the hopes that it also inspires you to ‘fail forward’ whilst also sharing about a very helpful framework ‘Human Design’

Let me give a quick insight into my HD a ‘Manifestor’ 2 & 6
Manifestor Profile 2
Think of someone who naturally influences and impacts people around them. They have that magnetic charm and an impressive way of getting their point across. Communication is their strong suit, and they're good at making things happen independently. However, sometimes they might feel the pressure to keep up this influential image, so they should remember to take care of themselves.
Manifestor Profile 6
Imagine a person who's a natural guide and leader. People look up to them as role models because they've got this charismatic aura and leadership skills. They don't hesitate to act on their ideas, even if it means going against the crowd. They're the ones who often initiate changes and inspire transformation, both in their lives and in the lives of others. However, being a leader isn't always easy, and they may find it challenging to balance their independence with the responsibilities that come with their role.
This is a basic understanding of my HD profile. Both of these relate to me but also remember, I will not be a Profile 6 until I reach the age of 50. Currently I am a Profile 3 so I am working towards Profile 6
And also these are only frameworks, systems, a potential pathway to understand the many parts of yourself. This system may work for you, it may not. It's your choice to get curious and dive in.
In conclusion, my journey from Profile Line 3 to 6 in Human Design has been nothing short of transformational. It's been a lesson in embracing "failure" as a stepping stone to growth. As I move forward, my commitment is to continue embracing the process, sharing my journey, and encouraging each one of you to "fail forward" as well.
Human Design is just one of the many frameworks that can help us decode the intricate layers of our existence. Whether it resonates with you or not, what truly matters is the curiosity to explore the countless pathways that lead to self-discovery.
I want to express my gratitude for accompanying me on this exploration. I eagerly anticipate sharing more insights, emotions, and experiences on this platform. Feel free to dive into the realm of Human Design or any other system that sparks your curiosity. Remember, understanding yourself is an ongoing adventure, and you hold the compass to your unique journey.
