No matter what you read, hear, study and learn; from whatever experts, mentors, friends—even me—that you find, it’s all filtered through your MAP and your MAP will change it. The changes can run from slight to considerable, but there will be changes. Some will be an improvement, some could even nullify it, but whatever “it” is, it will change to reflect your MAP.

As it should. Although new ideas frequently spark a person’s desire to modify/change their MAP. This too, is as is should be, unless the effort is to duplicate, which is an enormous waste of time and energy—and accomplishes nothing.

I’m willing to bet that there is no human being alive, or dead, for that matter, who’s MAP is so perfect that you’d be willing to adopt it in toto, giving up your own (you can’t have two versions of MAP running in one head). Even if you did, you’d be back to square one, just with different MAP making the changes, and worse, you would no longer be you.

The changes are also critical because no matter what you learn that you want to use, it’s the changes that make it your own; and you must own it in order to implement and sustain it.

Your MAP filters the world, so you don’t want to leave it to act unattended on it’s own. Make the effort to know it, understand it, and, then, evolve/enhance/change it as you choose!
