customize the facts to fit our map If we have created a map where opportunity is everywhere, that’s what we will see. When our map is based on opportunity, we won’t view challenges as obstacles because that wouldn’t harmonize with our map. So we interpret the facts in a way that allows them to fit in with, and support, our internal map of reality. Here’s the catch. For most people the way the map creates their reality on a day to day basis is completely outside of their conscious awareness. And because the process takes place on a subconscious level, they don’t see how they are creating their own reality. Instead of feeling like something they created, it seems like it’s coming from an external source. 2 Likes |

The map is not reality! We also create an emotional attachment to our map. It’s our personal version of what is real and we have a vested interest in verifying its accuracy. We want it to be real because it’s familiar, and that makes us feel safe and secure. This is why we are willing to distort, or even ignore, almost anything that might undermine our map. Despite our best efforts though, sometimes our map of reality comes unraveled. Usually this involves emotionally charged events that don’t fit the map, and can’t be ignored. It’s like basing your map on a flat world, and then discovering you were wrong. Now your world doesn’t make sense anymore and your map falls apart. 1 Like |

You are not the map For personal growth to occur, the map needs to be redrawn from time to time. The reason this change feels scary is because most people don’t realize that it’s only a map. They feel like their actual reality is imploding. Like their life is coming completely unraveled. What is actually happening is their map is being updated to include new information. Being aware that it’s just a map, and not actual reality, makes it much easier to just let it happen. We know that the old map no longer serves us, and that the new one will. But this awareness requires the acknowledgment that we are not the map, and that we create the map based on past beliefs. New beliefs are the key to a better map Updating our beliefs automatically changes our map. This is how we create a more pleasing version. When we systematically dismantle our limiting beliefs, and replace them with empowering beliefs, the topography of our map will conform. When we replace self-doubtwith self-confidence, fear with curiosity, or pessimism with optimism, our map will rearrange itself to support those beliefs. The world around us will look and feel different, and we will be more comfortable with our place in it. We will have created a better internal map of reality. 2 Likes 1 Share |

iamDiabolic: Ah . I understand now . You are filled with misconceptions . Oh brother ! Free will is simply having the power of choice as a human . Free will is not concerned with the consequences of your actions . You have the choice to choose - the carte Blanche - and whatever the outcome of your choice is not concerned with free will . If you make a choice as a human - that's free will . If the choice is bad or good thats not the business of free will . A deterrent discourages you from doing certain things , it guides you to make a good choice . Example : People have dogs in their houses for security . Now the dog discourages burglars , robbers from breaking into the house - the dog is a deterrent . Now they have a choice - to go into the house or not . So to make a choice is exercising free will . The deterrent simply helps to obviate impending danger . Now if the deterrent fails to discourage and you face your consequence , nobody should be blamed because you made the choice . If the dog bites you for breaking into the house , the owners of the house cannot be described as wicked . The person who committed the act is called foolish for making the choice when the consequence is bad . Let's make it more perspicuous The Nairaland ban is a deterrent , it is the consequence you face if you break any rule . The ban restricts your privileges as a user of this site for a limited time . I won't be able to engage in discussions and like a post . I am discouraged by the ban to break a rule. But I have a choice to make - FREEWILL - to break the rule or not . Now if I go against the rules , I get a ban . If I don't , I don't get a ban . The fact that a choice has to be made no matter the consequence is free will . Seun or any other mod is not wicked for banning me if I should break any rule. Do you now understand ? The pic below explains FREEWILL . The man Has two options - that's the ability which FREEWILL gives . The outcome of his choice is not freewill's business 9 Likes

KingEbukasBlog:Work hard as a christian so all those pastors can start their charades and collect all your earnings from you as offering. I am not going to any church here. I don't think I have business there. My pops don't even waste his time going to church though he believes in God. It's only my mum and my siblings who are church freaks not me. I have attended different churches (in secondary school it was deeper life cause I attended a deeper life school), so I'll tell you man no difference. Going to church don't even make you free; it makes u restricted. All my homies who don't go to church live good life and free as a bird. 2 Likes |

iamDiabolic: There is no difference because you have never been a true born again . You are just a nominal Christian . You have never been on both sides so you can't tell the difference . Your friends have chosen the life they want to live , it's their free will they are exercising . But are you ready to face the bad consequence with them later ? The worldly life is appealing , alluring but it leads to eternal destruction . Christ made it clear that we are not of this world neither should we pay so much attention to the desires of this world . The life on this transient world is momentary but the life thereafter is eternal , choose wisely , God gave you a brain for that. 4 Likes |

aaronson:I wonder why he would create Satan when he knew he would tempt adam and eve to eat the forbidden fruit. Is he not omniscient? He should have known that Satan would tempt Eve and both Adam and Eve would fall for it. Why did he still have to plant the forbidden tree? Doesn't that make him wicked? To crown it all he banished and cursed them for being disobedient after he has planned with Satan to tempt Adam and Eve. God must be a dictator. 2 Likes |
