You're standing on a foundation you didn't pour

You're standing on a foundation you didn't pour.

People grow up and the patterns stay. Being aware of them doesn't stop them, because they're part of the architecture of your psychology.

That foundation was laid before you could consent to it. Until about the age of seven, everything you hear, see and experience goes in as fact. You can't judge whether it's right, wrong, healthy or unhealthy. You just take it all on.

Most people have a pattern like this running and don't know it's there. If you want to find yours, do the Atlas. It names the pattern running your life in a single sitting. It's free.
