How Can I Contribute? - HD

We all want to make a difference in the world. Today's thoughts on this are an addendum to the Hope & Love for Humanity post.

Each energy in your Human Design chart carries with it possibilities for gifts to you and to others, depending on how you express them. There are no aspects of the design of humanity that are purely negative in nature. Human beings are inherently loving and good.

Each day, you live out these energetic qualities, mixing them all together in your experience in infinite potential ways. Therefore you have endless opportunities for offering your gifts to the people and to the world around you. 

Gregg Braden offers a wonderful question that I find empowering. It helps establish a mindset for making a difference.

Speaking of Gregg Braden, he's got a fabulous new book Deep Truth. In it, he discusses ways in which our understanding of humanity's history has been incomplete. Recent scientific discoveries indicate that war is NOT an inherent element of human civilization. Entire civilizations existed with no weapons, no dividing walls to keep people out, and no mass burials. All prior to what scientists used to believe were the earliest civilizations. Over the years, I have read or listened to many of Gregg Braden's books, and I recommend them.

What Can I Give to the World That is Emerging?

Today this is the 'catchy phrase' for making a difference in your life.

We tend to think that making a contribution means doing 'big' things, that small actions don't matter. On the contrary, every action contributes in some way to the entirety of existence. The impact of your contribution will be positive, negative, or neutral.

If you were to gather together all of your actions over the course of a day, from your waking moment to your sleeping moment, would the cumulative impact be positive?

A smile to the person walking by on the sidewalk is a gift. Picking up garbage on the street. Helping a person who is struggling with moving an unwieldy object. Making a meal for a family who is dealing with a major health challenge. Each action makes a difference.

Voting in elections contributes to the operation of your society. Serving in government yourself can be a gift, if that is right for you. (It absolutely would not be for me.)

There are countless ways to contribute to efforts to conserve our planet's resources and remaining wild ecosystems. Reducing your fossil fuel usage, and reducing the amount of packaging material that you cause to go to landfills are actions of conservation that you can take today.

Feeding hungry families, doing volunteer work, and planting flowers are actions of contribution. Educating people about health and about food is a contribution. As is making healthy food choices for yourself, and for your family. And so on.

So, what can you give to the world that is emerging?

I would love your feedback on the 'catchy phrase' idea, and the video as a means of conveying it to you. Do you actually bring the phrases to mind at times when you can benefit from them? Or is this experiment of mine just annoying.

If you find the catchy phrases useful, I invite you to share your experience of them. sandra@MiracleInspirations.com

Always DO What Feels GOOD to YOU! - HD

Have you ever done something that ended up turning out all wrong? 
Have you ever done a project or had a job that made you miserable every step of the way?
Have you ever agreed to do something then regretted making the commitment?
Have you ever backed out of a commitment, then proceeded to feel terrible or guilty?
 
Would you like a new way to look at this whole set of circumstances? A way of being with yourself around your decisions and actions?

Always DO What Feels GOOD to YOU!

Human Design provides a whole new perspective on the decision making process. Here are the basics in two sentences. Each individual is one of five Types. Each Type has a unique Strategy for making decisions and taking actions. There is so much more to it than that, but that is sufficient for now. If you want more details, go to my my website and my blog post from last week.

Here's what I have to say.

We'll talk more about that in a bit. First let's look at . . .

How Society Conditions Us to Make Decisions

Marketing campaigns are designed around compelling us to buy on impulse. Obvious examples are commercials for foods, drugs, fashion, . . . ad nauseum. Personal growth and development programs are infamous for the hype that is used to push us into the Big Buy.

We are also told to "Figure it out". Like the correct place for making decisions is in our heads. Because the logical thought process is the ultimate determining force for decision making.

How about when it comes to jobs and making money? Frequently we take jobs because we feel like we HAVE to. "There are no other jobs available." "It's better than what I have now." "I need the money."And even if we are unhappy with our jobs, we feel compelled to stay in them, again because we HAVE to. "I'm lucky to have this job."

When it comes to coming up with ideas and making them happen, we're told, "Just do it!"

A New Perspective - Waiting & Feeling

According to Human Design, most of this is flat out incorrect for most people. Only 8% of people are designed to ever be able to "Just do it." The rest of the population, like 92% are designed to Wait to Make Decisions and designed to Wait to Take Action.

Additionally everyone, each and every one of us is designed to Only Take Action When We Feel Right about what we are undertaking.What 'Feeling Right' about a decision means differs, depending on the individual.

Changing Your Mind - Communication

According to Human Design, timing is a critically important aspect of the decision making process. This is too large a topic to take on looking at in depth today. What will be simplest is looking at how this shows up in the real world.

Have you ever agreed to do something, then decided later that you didn't want to do it after all? This occurs because how you feel about things may change. If you feel this way, taking that action is probably not correct for you. According to Human Design, the timing is not right for you.

So what do you do? Would you like my recommendation? Renegotiate your agreement. This may be as simple as communicating to whomever is involved that you have changed your mind.

There is absolutely no fault here.

Would you like to see how I look at this when it happens in my life? When I have made an agreement and am therefore committed to something that is not correct for me, I am out of integrity. With myself and with whomever else is involved in my agreement. In my experience, when this happens, everyone involved feels weird and uncomfortable. The lack of integrity is palpable.

By communicating and renegotiating the agreement, I return integrity to both myself and to my relationship with the individual(s) involved.

Always DO What Feels GOOD to YOU!

When you have a decision to make, remember to Always DO What Feels GOOD to YOU. I'm trying something new, and giving you a catchy phrase. So when this situation comes up in your life, you'll remember. Here's the video again.

I would love your feedback on my 'catchy phrase' idea, and the video as a means of conveying it to you.
