In the Human Design System, the Motivation aspect helps explain the underlying drive or ‘why’ behind your actions and behaviors. The system suggests six types of Motivation: Fear, Hope, Desire, Need, Guilt, and Innocence. Each person carries one of these as their primary motivating force, which steers their direction and choices throughout life.
The first motivation, Fear, doesn’t denote living in a constant state of terror. Rather, it signifies being motivated by the need to understand, overcome, and break down fears. Those with Fear as their Motivation may often find themselves driven to push boundaries and explore new territories. Similarly, Hope as a motivation isn’t merely about optimism; individuals with this Motivation are driven by the potential for improvement and a better future.
Desire and Need Motivations are deeply connected to yearning and necessity, respectively. Those with Desire Motivation are driven by their wants and ambitions, while those with a Need Motivation are compelled by essential needs and basic necessities. Individuals with Guilt Motivation, instead of feeling perpetually guilty, are motivated by responsibilities and obligations, and Innocence Motivation often seeks simplicity and authenticity.
Understanding your Motivation in Human Design provides insight into what truly drives you. It’s like an internal compass that guides your decisions and actions. By becoming aware of your Motivation, you can bring more clarity and authenticity into your life. However, like any other component of Human Design, it’s not about strict definitions or limitations. Instead, it’s a tool for self-discovery and growth, helping you to align more closely with your unique nature and design.
