When My Profile Lines Sat Down Together

This post is part of my Storylab series, where I share the explored elements of my Human Design chart as if they were characters in a living story.

Profile Line 1:

Once Upon a Time, there was a young girl, let’s call her Primaire. She loved nothing more than spending her time reading books. Lots and lots of them. She’d be found in the corner of the classroom, cross-legged on the carpet, lost in a book, while the rest of the class carried on without her. She loved to daydream that one day she might work as a librarian, surrounded by precious books. The escape it gave her to learn about the outside world through stories transported her way to far-off lands.

As she grew older, she found new ways to learn. She’d sign up for courses – lots of them. From Interior Design “I can never learn enough or be good enough to make a living from this” – to Nursery Nurse training “I’d much rather be around the children than in the classroom” – and learning the art of Floristry “I just want to play with the flowers”. Wherever she learnt, she found herself wanting to do something practical almost immediately, impatient to make it mean something. It wasn’t enough to learn. She needed to test it, to feel it, to live it.

The more she learned, she began to notice herself caught up in a ‘learning loop’. Because, the more she learned, the more she needed to learn. It felt truly never ending and her passion for learning exhausted her fun, light hearted, joyful energy.

Perhaps you’ve felt that too? The thrill of learning, followed by the exhaustion of never feeling like it’s enough.

Profile Line 3:

In a land not very far away, there lived another girl. Let’s call her Trifecta.

She had a passion for trying all the things. It used to feel like she was hopping around, from one thing to another, and then to another. She always seemed to be seeking what else was available, as if she was never truly happy with what she had. Always in pursuit of fulfillment.

Her head would turn easily at the sign of something new to try. She could (ahem, maybe she actually did…) write a book about the different things she explored over time. It was as if she would never settle into one area of specialism, working in different industries as she grew, from the arts, to working in preschool, to becoming a florist, then a wedding stationer. And finally she settled on becoming a Life Coach, sharing all the wisdom she had gained in her many years of exploration and experimentation.

The lived reality of a 1/3 Profile in Human Design

One Sunny Day, Primaire, the eternal student, came face to face with Trifecta, the accomplished experimenter. This seemed like it might be a really fun meeting.

Like 2 dogs, sniffing each others behinds, they studied the other. Primaire was inspired by how experimentational she saw Trifecta being. She didn’t stop picking subjects or hobbies up, trying them on for size, and then setting them down again.

“This seems a fun way to learn” she thought to herself. What if there was a brand new way for her to learn here? Maybe all the learning she’d got herself so caught up in had her taking life way too seriously. Like it all had to be filed away and remembered for later? What if in the learning, she had missed the point – enjoying the experience!

This experimenting piece seemed like so much FUN!

And as Trifecta observed the way Primaire seemed to ‘do’ life, one topic soaked up like a sponge, and onto the next, and the next. This was someone who could make an entire library from all the books she had read! But wait a minute – all the experimenting done by Trifecta was ALSO knowledge, wasn’t it? Just embraced in a completely different way.

Corr, what fun they could have together – and think what insights they’d have to share between them if they pooled all their knowledge, wisdom, experience and resources. They would be a force to be reckoned with!

So now, instead of the inward focus (so common a theme for lines 1,2 and 3) they could make much more sense of what they have to offer the external world. The story of these themes gets to be much more potent, practicable, AND impactful.

Less of the “here’s what we do wrong, our faults, our shadows” and MUCH more of “here’s what’s brilliant about us” as expressions of the chart. Mmhmmmm! That’s a big sacral yes from me.

For a little more context: if you’re not familiar with the concept of Storylab™, it’s a powerful exploration you can do to really help your Quantum Human Design™ chart come alive. Understanding the individual expressions of elements of your chart is one thing, but seeing how they show up as if they were characters can really help you make sense of the lived, in-person experiences throughout your life.
