The Map is Not the Territory

Your maps are often distorted because you may jump to conclusions because of your experiences, the labels you put on people/ things, only see what you want to see

You react to things FROM the maps you have created

No two people can have exactly the same maps

As you grow, your maps must changeThe maps do not represent who you are
