Yes, of course. Glad to help, Susan.
We are all programmed by our parents and childhood experiences. But we have what Robert Green calls uniqness. There is no other being in the world exactly like you, and there hasn't been throughout history, nor will there ever be.
Your fingerprints are different from the fingerprints of the rest of the 8 billion human beings that inhabit the earth. So, is it so difficult to think that we are born with certain inclinations and aversions?
I think we all feel a kind of attraction to things that produce what the Japanese call IKAGI (Our reason for being). And in the same way we reject that which is not our calling.
I hope I have helped you and not confused you, hahaha.
