Generator

What does it mean to be a generator in Human Design?

As a Generator, you are the main source of energy on this planet. You are here to make things happen and are considered a builder and creator. You are here to work and get things done, with work playing a foundational role in your life. However, in order to sustain your ability to work endlessly, you must find work that you enjoy. Your work should light you up to the point where you could do it all day with enthusiasm. When you have found the work you love, you become inspirational and others are magnetically drawn to you. Doing the "right" work (work that is fun and meaningful) is what gives you the energy to continue on each day. You are meant to deplete your energy each day with this work, which allows you to sleep well and start the next day fresh, ready to go with vigor and excitement. On the flip side of this, if you do work that does not feel good, that lacks excitement or enthusiasm, you will feel drained and depleted. Part of figuring out what feels good is letting go of what doesn't.

Generators have a gravitational pull when they do what makes them happy. As a Generator, focusing on yourself and your own happiness will lift up others around you. When you say yes to things that don't serve you, or situations that drain your energy, you don't have much left to give. If you say yes to things you love, you can share and radiate your energy to those around you, influencing and inspiring others as you go.
