Why I Know Who I Am - And Why That Matters to You
Why I Know Who I Am - And Why That Matters to You
Like many, I once struggled to understand my identity and purpose. I spent years trying to fit into expectations that weren’t meant for me, chasing success, being a man the way the world told me to, and wondering why I was miserable, unfulfilled, with poor health and relationships.
But I don’t struggle with that anymore.
I know exactly who I was created to be.
Not because of my achievements, not because of my confidence, and certainly not because of anything I did on my own.
I know who I am because God designed me a certain way – created for a specific purpose, equipped with a unique mission, built to initiate change in the world.
We all have a specific purpose. God told Jeremiah, "Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you, and before you were born, I set you apart." – Jeremiah 1:5
How I Was Designed to Lead and Impact the World
God made me a 6/2 Ego Manifestor, for those familiar with Human Design. This means I was created to lead, initiate change, break barriers, and bring new things into the world. I don’t wait for permission - I act on inner urges meant to impact others.
My Enneagram type is 8SX, known for leadership, intensity, and an unwavering commitment to truth and justice. I was built to confront what’s broken, challenge limitations, and stand for what is right - even when it’s unpopular.
But my design isn’t just about starting things - it’s about helping others rewrite the stories that keep them stuck.
My life’s purpose, revealed in my Human Design and confirmed by God in prayer, is the Left Angle Cross of Alignment 1. This means my life’s work is about leading others back to alignment - not just with themselves but their higher purpose, relationships, and values.
I was created to:
Lead, teach, and inspire others to rewrite old narratives and reframe past experiences.
Show people the power of personal narrative in creating relationships rooted in true intimacy.
Use my intuition to sense emotional needs and help create agreements and relationships built on genuine connection.
Help others heal their sense of worth and value so they can build strong, meaningful relationships.
Guide people in rediscovering their values to build relationships, contracts, and agreements that genuinely reflect them.
I know this because God’s fingerprints are all over my life. Every struggle, every triumph, every moment I thought was breaking me was shaping me into the person I was always meant to be, and know that we should “Count it all joy….when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness.” James 1:2-3
And now, my calling is to show you how.
You Were Created to Bring Something Into This World
You weren’t made by accident. You weren’t made to barely survive. You weren’t made to live disconnected from your purpose. You were created with a unique design, a specific calling, and an impact that no one else can bring into the world the way you can.
The question is - do you know yours?
Do you have clarity on who you were created to be?
Do you know the impact you were meant to have on the world?
Do you understand how God has wired you for a specific mission?
Or are you still grinding through life, trying to fit into expectations that don’t align with who you truly are?
If you don’t know the answer, it’s time to stop guessing and start aligning.
From the Grind to True Alignment: Your Path to Clarity
If you’re still trying to figure out who you are and what you’re meant to do, here’s the hard truth: You will never find clarity inside the grind.
The safe and expected path tells you to hustle harder, follow the crowd, and chase someone else’s version of success. But you weren’t made for that.
The awakened path is where you start to listen to that deeper voice - the one that tells you I’m made for more. It’s where you begin to explore, question, and step out of the expectations that don’t fit.
But the bold and aligned path - that’s where you become fully aligned with who God created you to be. It’s where you stop striving and start stepping boldly into your unique calling.
So, let me ask you again:
Do you know who you were created to be?
Do you have clarity on the impact you were designed to have on the world?
Or are you still stuck in the status quo, grinding away at a life that was never meant for you?
If you’re ready to step into clarity, I’ve created a tool to help.
