I’m sharing an apt presupposition* with you today.
I’m currently on vacaction in Hong Kong with my friend Ange, who grew up here with me. We headed to The Peak to admire the skyline on Saturday.
When you’re “down on the ground” you really don’t get the full perspective of a place and with more of a bird’s eye view you have a better awareness and appreciation of the shapes and heights of the building. It’s easy to confuse models of reality with reality itself – a map represents the landscape in this case but is not identical to the real thing.
“The map is not the territory” reminds us that our understanding of something can be limited/skewed or changed by our beliefs. Remaining curious and questioning every “map” can truly help you unlock your thinking.
*Presuppositions are statements that you can “pre-suppose” to be true to help you and others unlock thinking. They are an element of Neuro Linguistic Programming which I am a proud Practitioner of.
**Yes!! That’s a glass of Prosecco in my hand doing a “cheers” to being 50 and in a part of the world that has a special place in my heart!
