Generator

Generators are the doers of the world, designed to work in ways that bring them satisfaction. They have powerful and consistent energy, giving them the stamina to engage deeply in work, relationships, and passions. They're gifted with the energy to bring ideas and inspirations to life, whether it's their own idea or someone else's. They bring a steadfast, masterful, and committed energy to whatever they do, and they may enjoy the step-by-step process of making something happen. Their stamina makes them particularly well suited to dive deep into a field and master it.

One of their biggest lessons is to follow their joy and do what lights them up. This isn't a selfish choice; the more lit up they are, the more energy they have, the more opportunities they attract, and the more they light up the world around them. When they're excited and satisfied by what they're doing, they have the capacity to go, go, go and will lift up and power everyone around them with their energy. When Generators are personally satisfied and fulfilled, people can't help but want to be around their bright energy.

Generators rest best when they fully use up their energy during the day in satisfying ways, whether it's doing work they love, moving their body, or spending time with friends that light them up. If they haven't used their energy in aligned ways, they may feel restless and have trouble sleeping. One of their biggest lessons is cultivating strong boundaries and only saying yes to commitments when their gut gives them a yes and they genuinely feel they have the energy to give. When they say yes from a place of conviction, everyone gets the best of them.

Their Strategy of waiting to respond ensures they engage in the right activities and relationships. When aligned, they experience satisfaction, but when out of alignment, they struggle with frustration and burnout.
