The article explores how individuals can recognize personal patterns and growth environments over time, suggesting that both genetics and upbringing contribute to behavior and choices. It introduces the metaphor of 'terroir'—the conditions influencing personal development. The author emphasizes that understanding these influences helps shape future opportunities, combining insights from behavioral genetics and epigenetics to illustrate the relationship between nature and nurture, ultimately encouraging a more intentional approach to life.
At a certain age, you start noticing patterns in your life—not just in events, but in yourself. You see how certain choices repeat, how some opportunities seem to magnetize toward you.
This goes deeper than the age-old nature vs. nurture debate. But what if both are partially right—and both are incomplete? Let's use a different metaphor. Imagine trying to grow a garden.
