Lesson 2: Your Inner Wisdom

Have you ever said yes to something and later regretted it—or secretly hoped it would fall through? That used to be me too!

Then I discovered my Authority in Human Design, I was completely sold. Everything started to make sense. I learned I have a Wait for Clarity (Emotional) Authority, which means I make my best decisions after I’ve had time to sleep on them. Now, I say things like, “Let me think about it” or “Can I get back to you?” so I can give myself the time I need to feel clear.

Your Authority is your decision-making superpower. It’s designed to help you trust yourself and make choices that truly feel good.

Growing up, I was surrounded by family members with quick decision-making Authorities. That’s how I was taught to make decisions—quickly and confidently. But it never felt right because that’s not how I’m designed to decide. That’s the magic of learning your Authority: you stop following old patterns and start making decisions that truly feel good and honor who you are.

Reflect on this: When do you feel most clear about decisions? What might your Authority reveal about how you’re designed to decide?
