Deep dives

Understanding Motivation in Human Design

Motivation is central to understanding human design, where individuals can be categorized as having a defined or undefined ego center. Those with a defined ego possess a consistent, heart-centered desire that drives their motivation, regardless of external circumstances. For example, a person with this type of motivation may deeply care about animal welfare, and even in the face of personal challenges, their drive to achieve this desire remains steady. In contrast, individuals with an undefined ego experience fluctuating motivation, which may inspire them one day and leave them unmotivated the next.
