Ego Authority in Human Design: observing decisions

What is a personal wish and which commitment is realistic? Within the model, this interpretation invites considering intention alongside available resources.

Where this comes from

Human Design assigns authority using defined centres and a hierarchy within the model. This assignment does not prove that a particular feeling or bodily signal indicates the right decision.

The full text

You sense what you truly want to contribute and how much of it you can carry. When you make one small commitment with a clear limit, you see afterwards whether wish, effort and strength matched.

Ego authority in Human Design places your own wish and your readiness to commit at the centre.

Try it in everyday life

Someone asks you for help. You separate the wish to help from the worry of counting for less and you ask about the actual effort. A limited commitment or a no is as considered as a yes. A strong intention alone does not yet make a decision right.

Your assignment within the model
