How to make good decisions with ego authority

It’s certainly not about what someone else tells you to do. No one has authority over you other than yourself.

Your human design authority is here to support you in making decisions – like an inner GPS that is unique to you. Decisions can be anything from what to have for breakfast to what job to accept and who to be in a relationship with. 

Despite what we have been taught, we are intended to make decisions by listening to our bodies instead of our heads. Your authority tells you exactly where in your body to tune into so you can make the best decisions for you.

Bottom line: your decisions are an embodied experience. They are not “logical” because logic lives only in your mind.


If you have ego authority, you are here to make decisions by knowing what you want based on your willpower. You move towards what you want and away from what you do not want.  

It can feel selfish to be driven by what you want but for you, this sense of wanting is what activates your motivation. Your big energy can trigger other people’s wounds around self-worth, but it is not your job to make yourself small to placate others. 

 You love asking yourself questions such as:

  • “Do I want it?”
  • “What makes me feel good?”
  • “Will it make me feel more me?”
  • “Does it make me feel like I am in my power when I think about it?”

What you are drawn towards it not about what will make you look powerful but what will make you feel powerful.You are motivated by things in the material world such as fame, money, success or visibility. As your authority, this is not selfish – it is how you know what is right for you to invest your time and energy in. It is about what you want in life and giving yourself permission to have it. Allowing yourself to be motivated by your heart’s desires is how you express love and appreciation for yourself.
