The value of a good map is what it … leaves out.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If a map did not leave anything out it would be the territory.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

OK, so?<\/p>\n

Is there something you want \/need and don’t have?<\/p>\n

The first thing is to stop<\/strong> looking at your set of mental maps.<\/p>\n

They obviously do not<\/span> contain what you want-but-don’t-yet-have.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Annnd, unfortunately, it’s your mental maps that tell you how to look for things you want-but-don’t-have.<\/p>\n

Which they don’t<\/strong> have in them<\/em> because you still don’t have what you want \/need.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Knowing your maps have effectively brought you this far is a strong statement to their effectiveness.<\/p>\n

And to get what you want you should stick to what is proven effective, yes?<\/p>\n

Well, no, actually.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

You will get what you need \/want by doing supposedly random, unrelated things.<\/p>\n

Random, unrelated = not on your current maps.<\/p>\n

But then what you want \/need is also not on those maps.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Sooo, go for it!<\/p>\n
