Do you often wonder Why people think and act the way they do? Why we are all different and how we see the world around us differs? There is a simple answer " MAP (our subjective, limited perception) IS NOT THE TERRITORY (reality)"
We use our senses to explore and filter all of our experiences. Through our culture,language, beliefs, values, interests and assumptions we further filter our unique experiences. We all live in our unique reality from our sense impressions and individual experiences of life, and we act on the basis of what we perceive our model of the world.
To get the most out of life experiences, more rewarding and a fulfilling place to be, let go of the need to be right, or justify, or explaining and of feeling righteous.
Everyone forms their own version of reality based on the information they have, its their MAP.
Hey Penny - great work :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat has also come up for me is how important our MAP is because we don't get in life what we want - we get in life what we are. We will only have the level of success in any area of our life that equals our level of self-worth. So we need to be living 'at cause' and the very first step to ensuring that the trajectory of our life is heading in the right direction, we need to take complete responsibility for our current circumstances. Wherever we are in life right now is our own doing - good or bad - by what we did or didn't do, how we responded to what was said or done to us. So your comment about letting go of the need to be right or justify is so valid and we need to be living at cause rather than at effect.
