There is a presupposition in NLP (Neural Linguistic Programming) that states, "The map is not the territory." We all create a map of the world based on our experiences, world view, beliefs, traumas, etc. Just as no single map charts every building, ditch, road, house, hazard, etc., no one's personal map truly reflects reality. Our maps are filtered. If we walk through life thinking we have the true map of life's journey, we will only suffer through it. Spend time learning other people's map. Share your map with others. It's the only way we can build a more accurate view of the territory of life.
