THE MAP IS NOT THE TERRITORY. 
 
The key to directing your internal representations successfully is memory 
management. We must weed our garden by deciding what we are going to focus 
on-like W. Mitchell did. 
 
Life is like a river. It's moving, and you can be at the mercy of the river if you don't 
take deliberate conscious action to steer yourself in the direction you have 
predetermined. 
 
The number of behavioral choices we have is determined by our models of the 
world. 
 
Most people take very little conscious action to direct their states. They wake up 
depressed or they wake up energized. Good breaks lift them up, bad ones bring 
them down. Successful people are able to summon their best when they need it, 
when the pressure is the greatest. 
 
The Firewalk teaches people to form new internal representations of possibility.
