So you’ve read! Map of Reality. In my previous post I mentioned it briefly, but what is a map of reality in a more detailed sense?
Simply put, a map o reality is a combination of all your beliefs. Now, here comes the most interesting part. We all have map of realities, but how do they actually impact our lives? Let’s see
Ever wondered why 2 people who watch the same movie have different opinions? IN general, why people have opinions? We thinks that it’s natural and all, but ever asked yourself why?
The answer is quiet simple: Map of Reality
Here are some principles which shape and form of each map of every single individual.
Principle nb. 1- It’s impossible to meet 2 people with the same map of reality. Why? Well, let me give you a clue. Ever heard a classic song? My guess is that you did. Now here is my second question. Did you hear 2 identical classic songs from 2 different composers? Guess not. And here is another clue. There are only 7 basic musical notes available, yet there are 100,000′s songs out there that are not the same. Where does this all come together?
Simply put, the notes represent your beliefs. Now imagine one thing, there are 100 if not 1000 of beliefs out there. So the math is simple, if 7 notes create 100,000 totally unique songs, now imagine what 1000 beliefs would do. The thing is, out of 6 billion people, you won’t be able to find 2 that have the same map of reality.
Principle nb.2- The map of reality is like an invisible barrier. You can’t go higher than it. What does this mean? Well, imagine the following scenario. You want to make 10,000$ a month, but if you have a map of reality that allows you to make only 2000$ per month you are not going to get really far. Trust me. You will be programed just like a robot to receive ideas or take actions worth 2000$ a month. From time to time you will receive a huge idea, but again, your map of reality is going to block it using auto-sabotage. So if you’re not going to change your map of reality you aren’t going to get really far in life. Yet, we’ll talk about this, next time.
These are the 2 basic principles which govern our thinking or our map of reality. So to summarize:
1. You won’t be able to find 2 identical maps of reality. This is the reason why there are 1001 opinions available on every subject.
2. Our map of reality is our ceiling. It limits us. Want higher grounds? Install a higher ceiling!
