Programming

Posted by PJ under childhood, conditioning, parents, quote of the day
No Comments

Random quote of the day:

“Most of our earliest programming comes from our parents. Whether we like it or realize it, we absorb their habits and beliefs at an age when we are under their control and unable to do much about it. Their concerns and values act on us for the better part of our lives, and unless we redefine ourselves and form our own beliefs, we continue to run our parents’ programs in our thoughts and actions.”

—Famous Amos, Watermelon Magic
