The Child Who Learned to Hide

Since childhood, I have not wanted to express myself fully. My childhood experiences have not allowed me to express myself. I have never ever been aware of it.
I always focused more on saving myself from beatings, scoldings, humiliations, and fear.
I did not have any great involvement in my educational journey too. I know I am a good kid, doing everything perfectly — but I was not happy about it. Because the guilt and anger inside me had turned me into a rebel. But as usual, I could hide that too.
At some point in my life, I started hating people. Not trusting anyone. So many hateful thoughts were always present in the depth of my mind and heart.
Now let me tell you what the outcome of my behaviour was. I became more kind to people. Each and every second, I proved to everyone that I am a very kind person. But inside my heart and soul, I suffered like anything.
I comfortably walked this path and learned to cope with schooling, education, social activities, and participation in the community around the church. This depressed, obedient child came to know about Program for Life. And did it, first halfheartedly.
And then I found something about the real me.
When I discovered my 7 Ornaments in Program for Life, my life turned out more beautiful not on the outside, but within me. I do not feel torn inside my heart anymore. I feel integrated and complete. Now I am seeing all of these as the many expressions of the one whole I am.
I feel more responsible for this Human Design Education Professional journey. It gave me a lot. I experience completion. When I experience completion, it becomes my distinguished way of life.
I want to contribute everything I experienced through this journey.
My 7 Ornaments of Life
1. Who I Am — Peace and Joy
2. The World I Am In — Freedom and Abundance
3. Legacy — Happiness
4. Purpose — Awakening people to contribute
5. Reason I Exist — To encourage, give freedom and happiness
6. My Contribution — Inspiration and Happiness
7. I AM — Love
The 7 Ornaments are your unique expressions of who you are — your purpose, your legacy, your contribution, and the love you bring to the world. They are discovered through Program for Life (PFL), a journey of deep self exploration that helps you uncover and live your true self expression.
