Are We High-Achieving or Just Scared?

Written By Alex Mufson

Are we just so shitty at emotional regulation that it feels better to accomplish than it does to be present in our bodies?

Is that by design?

If we are focused on productivity to outrun our insecurities, because we aren’t taught the tools to value ourselves beyond our labor, we are the perfect children of capitalism.

And look, we have to work because we are trapped in this system (at least for now, revolution pending).

But what if our act of rebellion was to enter the space with intention rather than urgency?

What if we reclaimed our nervous systems, centering regulation and working from a place of contribution rather than scarcity?

We have been convinced to be so hyper-independent that it feels like an insult to be cared for.

Perfect for keeping us trapped and tired.

Let’s redefine achievement to serve us rather than silence us.

Capitalism, at its core, is a system designed to exploit your energy, profit from your exhaustion, and keep you in a state of self-doubt. The message is clear: the more you produce, the more valuable you are. But here's the truth: you don’t need alignment to “call in abundance”—what you truly need is alignment to destroy the systems that were built to keep you small.

In the intricate system of Human Design, the bodygraph contains nine centers, each of which plays a unique role in how we process information, interact with the world, and make decisions. A defined center in your chart means that this aspect of you is consistent, reliable, and naturally powered by your energy. It’s like a beacon, always available to guide you, but how you interact with that energy is a key to living in alignment.

Let’s get real for a second. Projectors, you’re tired. But here’s the thing: you’re not tired because the world isn’t built for you—you’re tired because you are efficient as FUCK and that kind of energy takes more focus, more depth, and more intention for a shorter amount of time.
