Every person always works
perfectly
Presupposition
9: Every person always works perfectly in accordance with their internal
strategy.
Now we have another
interesting and important presupposition to discuss. This one helps us to
maintain our relationships better and make the change work effective. One of
the reasons for damaging relationship is the progressive awareness of imperfection;
imperfection in ideologies, knowledge, social status, standard of life, income,
sex etc. Human beings always crave for perfection. Even an imperfect person looks
perfection in others! Imperfection leads to mismatching.
The standard of perfection of a
person depends on the internal strategy of that person. It is common among
couples that during the course of marriage life one or both of the partners
feels that the other partner is not up to the mark or up to the standard! This
can be in the attitude, behaviour, habits, communication, caring, sharing or
love making. One partner expects more but the other perform less. The partner
is imperfect for the other!
Children perform imperfectly in their
parents view, they expect more. Managers expect more perfect work from their
subordinates. Lazy people are always a burden to others. Poorly performing
students are imperfect for their teachers. To get better result for the school
and appreciation for the teachers they expect students to work (learn) perfectly.
The fact is that every person
always works perfectly in accordance with their internal strategy (map). This
concept is little bit difficult to understand. Every person performs a work
based on a blue print run in their brain. Let us think of the word
‘work’ practically. Suppose somebody requested you to move a chair form one
position to another. Within a matter of milliseconds a ‘blue print’ of the work
will be ready in your brain and your conscious mind read it out. Your neuro
system gets activated and signals for actions (work) passes in line with your
thought process. So it is the blue print that gets executed.
Here you can raise a smart question? Whether
the blue print is the same for all people? The answer is No. Why? Because
blue print is being prepared in accordance with the internal map! Hence one
person pull the chair and the other lift it. Some other may push it with the
leg according to his strategy. However
all work perfectly according to their internal map.
This is what is happening in the life.
Every behaviour or action is perfect according to the internal strategy or map.
Nobody can blame a person for his imperfection because the person is
perfectly alright as per the map. If you want to change the performance
of a person change his internal strategy. Usually we blame the person and put
a bad remark for imperfection. Clay is just the mud for common man and for a
farmer it can be the material for building dams whereas it’s a valuable raw
material to mould precious arts and crockery in the hands of a ceramist. All
the three will do their work perfectly according to their internal strategy. Quality
of the work also depends on the map.
No one is wrong or broken. We run
or execute our strategies perfectly. But these strategies which are
internal may be poorly designed or ineffective. Change the design and the
strategy; you will have a better result. This is one of the important
pre-supposition applicable for the betterment of relationship and life change
therapies. Accept the person with his present behaviour. The present
behaviour is perfectly alright for the person until the person himself or another
person intervenes and replaces it with a better one.
NLP can positively intervene and change
the internal strategy of a person which leads to healing and life change. NLP
provides wonderful ideas and techniques to change and bettering life through self
help approach. Once again recall the presupposition every person always works
perfectly in accordance with their internal strategy.
