One of my favorite things is spotting patterns in Human Design that seem to suddenly make something so much clearer to me. It’s like a new level of understanding and knowing has landed in my body.  

This happened recently when I discovered the connection between Determination and Motivation. 

I’ve known for a while that those with harmonic/ bridge Profiles (1/4, 2/5, 3/6, 4/1, 5/2 or 6/3) will always have Innocence Motivation and Appetite (consecutive or alternating) Determination, but I didn’t realize that this same connection can be found with other types of Determination and Motivation.
