Extension boundary regulations: How Close to my Boundary can I Build an Extension?

How Close to my Boundary can I Build an Extension?

There are many factors to consider prior to building an extension on your property and before you start any building work these must be checked.

An extension to your home is normally classed as ‘Permitted Development’ and fall under various categories.

Conditions to Build an Extension Under Permitted Development

You cannot have more than half of your land on the property to have additional buildings.

That the new extension goes higher than the highest part of your roof or structure.

The maximum height allowed for a single story extension is of no more than four meters.

If you are building a structure of more than one story you cannot pass three meters beyond the original rear wall of the property.

Single story extensions to the side of your property to be no more than four meters in height and no wider than half the original size of the property.

For those building a double extension on their property, you cannot go closer than seven meters to the boundary.

Any pitch on the roof that is higher than one story must match the existing pitch on the property.

Under permitted development you cannot add balconies, raised platforms or verandas.

How Close to my Boundary can I Build an Extension?

If you are planning on building an extension of more than one story you cannot go beyond the boundary at the rear by more than 3 meters.

This only applies when there is no other property on the land to the rear of your your home.

The side boundaries can be built up to but you may need to factor in other considerations.

You cannot breach the boundary in plan and in what we call elevation, this factors in the 45-degree rule that most planning officers use.

With this, they take the closest window to your build on your neighbour’s property and if it breaches the ‘imaginary line’ then planning permission can be denied.

As part of your planning process, your neighbour can submit a householder planning application which voices their concerns.

As with any build, it is always worth speaking with your neighbours especially when boundaries are involved.

Let them see the plans, talk to them about heights from your build and if anything is of concern it can be rectified prior to any build which will speed up the whole process.

As a rule of thumb, a build that reaches 7.2 feet is considered acceptable and anything over that we do recommend speaking to your neighbour.

Missouri’s Fencing and Boundary Laws: Frequently Asked Questions, G811

Note
The information in this guide is for educational purposes only and is not a substitute for competent legal advice.

Joe Koenen
County Engagement Specialist, Agricultural Business and Policy Extension

Missouri has two fence laws: the general fence law (updated Aug. 28, 2001) and the local option fence law. In addition, Missouri law addresses special situations of property bordering a road, a railroad or a body of water. Landowners need to be aware of these special situations and of which fence law is in place in counties where they own land. This guide answers common questions about these laws.

General information

Which Missouri counties have opted out of the general fence law?

The following 19 counties currently have opted out of the general fence law and are subject to the local option fence law:

• Bates
• Cedar
• Clinton
• Daviess
• Gentry
• Grundy
• Harrison

• Knox
• Linn
• Macon
• Mercer
• Newton
• Putnam

• Schuyler
• Scotland
• Shelby
• St. Clair
• Sullivan
• Worth

Figure 1. Many northern Missouri counties have opted out of the general fence law in favor of the more livestock-owner-friendly local option law.

Gentry and Worth counties voted to adopt the local option since the general law was updated in 2001, and Cedar County adopted the option law in 2015. The other 16 counties voted before then, with Macon being the last in 1986. All other Missouri counties are subject to the general fence law (See Figure 1.).

Why have so many northern Missouri counties opted out?

The local option fence law, which is patterned after laws in Iowa and other Midwestern states, increases livestock owners’ rights. The counties that have opted out of the general law are generally strong livestock counties.

Legal responsibility

Who is legally responsible for building and maintaining a boundary (between two or more landowners) fence?

• General fence law
  Sections 272. 010 to 272.190 of the Missouri Revised Statutes (RSMo), where the law is located, states that the livestock owner alone is legally responsible for building and maintaining a fence to enclose the livestock. When adjoining landowners or their renters own livestock, each is responsible for his or her half of the boundary fence for as long as they both run livestock against the field or enclosure.
• Local option fence law
  RSMo Sections 272.210 to 272.370 state that when one landowner requires a boundary fence, both landowners are legally responsible for their portion of the fence. It does not mention livestock ownership, although it is presumed.
• Non-boundary fences
  Regardless of a county’s fence law, in cases of property lines along roads (from interstate highways down to township gravel or dirt roads) and boundaries along a water body, livestock owners are responsible for enclosing their animals.
• Fences along railroads
  RSMo Chapter 389, which contains provisions specific to railroad properties, requires the railroad company or corporation to build and maintain the fence along the railroad right-of-way.

What portion of the law was updated in 2016 and how does that affect livestock owners?

RSMo Sections 272.030 and 272.230 requires negligence be proven on the livestock owner’s part in order to receive damages on your property. Some items that would be negligence include

• a non-legal or broken down fence;
• animals that are being starved and looking for food;
• an animal such as a bull that gets out multiple times; or
• watergaps that do not get fixed in a timely manner.

How is “livestock owner” defined in the updated general fence law?

In general law counties, a person who has livestock in a field at any time during the year is considered a livestock owner and is required to have a fence. One head would qualify; cattle grazing corn stalks for 25 days qualify. An owner could possibly put a hot wire or fence 10 feet or more off the property line, but this could lead to an adverse possession issue (see Boundary Lines and Adverse Possession section).

What if my neighbor puts livestock against the boundary fence after I have built it?

This issue relates only to general fence law counties as livestock ownership doesn’t matter in local option counties. The law provides that the livestock owner who pays for the fence can have the construction costs — materials, labor and possibly dozing — recorded against both deeds by the associate circuit judge. If the other landowner later places livestock against the fence, he or she is to reimburse the person who built the fence for half of the recorded costs.

Unfortunately, this portion of the law has not worked well for three reasons. First, no specific documents are in place to guide judges in these cases. Second, the judge must determine if the costs given by the landowner are reasonable, and most judges have no agricultural background or knowledge. Finally, this state has a tradition, especially in counties south of the Missouri River, of allowing only lawyers to enter an associate circuit judge’s office. Although no law limits entry, this custom is followed frequently and prevents a landowner from presenting fence cost documentation or discussing the situation directly with the judge without the benefit or the cost of an attorney.

What portion of the fence am I required to maintain?

• General fence law
  If you and your neighbor both have livestock, face each other at the midpoint of your boundary fence: the half to your right is your responsibility and the half to your left is your neighbor’s. Any other agreed upon division must be put in writing and recorded* in all counties that the fence is in.
• Local option fence law
  The law does not specify which portion of the fence is each landowner’s responsibility. Traditionally, if you and your neighbor face each other at the midpoint of your boundary fence, the half to your right is yours and the half to your left is your neighbor’s. Though in some parts of Schuyler County, the opposite is the tradition. In these counties, it may be even more crucial to have something in writing and recorded due to this situation.

Aren’t I responsible for only the part of the fence where the wire is on my side of the posts?

Nothing in the law relates to this or other common misconceptions about fence responsibility. To protect yourself, follow only what the law says unless you have a different agreement that is in writing and has been recorded.*

Legal fence definition

What is a legal fence in Missouri?

• General fence lawFigure 2. Example of fence required by general fence law.“A fence consisting of posts and wire or boards at least 4 feet high which is mutually agreed upon by adjoining landowners or decided upon by the associate circuit court of the county is a lawful fence. All posts shall be set firmly in the ground not more than 12 feet apart with wire or boards securely fastened to such posts and placed at proper distances apart to resist horses, cattle and other similar livestock” (RSMo 272. 020). See Figure 2 for a visual example.
• Local option fence lawFigure 3. Example of fence that meets local option fence law requirements.A lawful fence is “a fence with not less than four boards per 4 feet of height; said boards to be spaced no farther apart than twice the width of the boards used fastened in or to substantial posts not more than 12 feet apart with no stay, or a fence of four barbed wires supported by posts not more than 15 feet apart with one stay or 12 feet apart with no stays, or any fence which is at least equivalent to the types of fences described herein” [RSMo 272.210(1)]. “Stays” are vertical supports that are attached to each horizontal wire of a fence. See Figure 3 for a visual example.

If my neighbor needs a more substantial fence, do I have to pay for it?

If a neighboring land or livestock owner needs a fence above the legal definition, such as woven wire or a 15-foot deer fence, you are required to pay only what your portion of a legal fence would cost. Anything above that cost is your neighbor’s responsibility.

If my neighbor wants to doze out the old fence and build a new one, but I don’t, do I have to allow it?

This question brings up several potentially separate issues. First, the tradition in Missouri is that 10 feet on each side of the boundary fence would be cleared before putting in a new fence, but this is not required in the statutes. In plain words, you cannot force a neighbor to clear anything that is not in the fence itself. It is, however, a good idea from a fence (making certain the new fence doesn’t get damaged from falling trees or limbs) and liability standpoint (see Liability Concerns section). Second, does the current fence meet the legal definition and maintain livestock? If you cannot agree on this, then the associate circuit judge can appoint three disinterested parties to decide. Finally, the state law does not address the potential issue of an individual not having the funds to build a new fence at the time it is needed.

Boundary lines and adverse possession

Can I just move my fence if a survey of my property shows that the current fence is not on the actual boundary line?

In Missouri as in other states, a boundary fence that has been in place for 10 or more consecutive years can, in effect, become the boundary by the legal doctrine of adverse possession (RSMo Chapters 516 and 527). Adverse possession means that the fence, for all practical purposes, becomes the property line, and so you cannot just remove or move the fence.

A survey does not take precedence over other evidence under adverse possession. If a fence has been in place for more than 10 years, you can’t just move it. A fence that has been in place less than 10 years, however, can be moved based on a property survey. The fence has to be in place and meet the minimum definition of a legal fence for this to qualify for adverse possession. So, rotted posts in the ground or a fence lying on the ground likely will not meet that definition.

What is required for adverse possession

In addition to the 10-year requirement for adverse possession to take effect, the neighbor’s occupation of the land must be

• actual, which means the neighbor acted in the manner of an owner;
• open and notorious, so in plain sight and capable of being seen by the true owner and the public;
• exclusive, in that the true owner doesn’t possess it at any time during the 10-year period;
• hostile to the true owner’s rights; and
• under claim or right, in that an error in title or actual use caused it.

What is a “devil’s lane”?

Years ago, when neighboring landowners couldn’t agree on where to put a fence, they each located a fence on the adjoining side of their properties with a 10-foot lane in between. The space between such fences is called a “devil’s lane.” Although creating a devil’s lane may avoid disputes initially, it can lead to adverse possession if one of the landowners claims the lane years later.

Can I dispute adverse possession in court and prove that the survey is correct?

For adverse possession to be complete, such that the property line is legally determined, it has to be proved in court. The judge will hear evidence from both sides. What evidence is allowed is decided by the judge and might include the survey, pictures and witnesses as to how long the fence has been there. This process generally puts a new landowner in a tough legal position unless all or some of the evidence supports his or her claim.

Can my neighbor and I agree to put a fence in place on the current boundary line without risking adverse possession later?

Yes, you and your neighbor can place the fence in an agreed-upon location and, to avoid adverse possession, state that it is there “for convenience purposes only” (have an attorney draft the specific wording) on a quitclaim deed, which must be signed by you both and recorded in the county recorder’s office. Such a deed can also be recorded concerning a fence that is already in place if you and your neighbor agree.

Why won’t a judge just use a survey I have had done to decide where the boundary line is?

Surveys may be very accurate, but they are not infallible. At times, two surveyors may put a boundary line at different locations. Several locations in Missouri do not have the old quarter-mile marker pins (iron stakes in the ground), so surveyors must go from other points. Surveyors’ skills depend on whether they are certified and how much experience they have. Due to these and other reasons, some judges will not allow a survey as admissible evidence in court. Most judges will use a survey as just one piece of evidence among others, such as photos, witnesses, land use, etc.

Liability concerns

If my neighbor’s livestock get onto my land, does my neighbor have to pay for any damage they cause?

• General fence law
  If you do not own livestock, any damage done would be the livestock owner’s responsibility with certain limitations. The livestock owner would have to be negligent in order to be held liable. Keep in mind that negligence can be subject to legal interpretations (See what portion of the law was updated in 2016 for more information).

  You could have some liability if your trees or limbs fall onto the fence, causing it to fail. That’s why the 10 foot tradition is a good one. If you both own livestock, then responsibility would depend on which portion of the fence the livestock passed through, whether the fence met legal standards, and what condition the legal fence was in.

• Local option fence law
  According to the law, you are entitled to the repair of the portion of the fence the livestock got through but not to damages. If the livestock owner has liability coverage, however, some insurance companies may pay for actual damage, such as that done to crops.

What can happen to me if I don’t maintain my part of the fence?

You open yourself up to two liability concerns if you stop maintaining your part of the fence. First, you would not be entitled to compensation for damage done by livestock getting onto your property. Furthermore, you may not be entitled to certain government payments, such as Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) assistance. Secondly, you could be liable if livestock get out onto a road or another neighbor’s land and do damage. However, RSMo section 272.030 limits liability to only cases of livestock owner negligence. An owner would likely be found negligent if the fence was not maintained, watergaps were not kept up, or the animals did not have adequate feed or water available, among other possible reasons.

Can I keep the trees and other plants that are on my side of the fence?

Traditionally, 10 feet on each side of the fence is kept clear of brush and trees to minimize potential damage to the fence and so the fence can be maintained easily, but it is not a legal requirement. However, you can be held liable and have to pay for repairs if your trees or brush obstruct or fall onto the fence.

Miscellaneous issues

What if my neighbor and I agree on a different maintenance plan than what’s in the law?

• General fence law
  If you and your neighbor agree on a maintenance plan for other than the right half, the agreement must be in writing and recorded in the county recorder’s office.* The agreement will then be binding on you and future owners.
• Local option fence law
  Although the right half is only the tradition in these counties, anything other than that needs to be in writing and recorded in the county recorder’s office.*

Who is responsible for water gaps on the boundary line?

You may have heard that water gaps are the responsibility of the owner that is downstream or on whose side the wire is on, but these arguments are not legally or otherwise binding. The law does not specifically address water gaps, so the landowner whose portion of the fence the water gap is on would be responsible. Any agreement otherwise needs to be recorded in the county recorder’s office.* An inequity such as when a water gap is entirely on one landowner’s portion is a good example of a case when neighbors working out an agreement other than what the law requires is a good idea.

What about county-specific rules on fences or animals?

There are no county-specific fence laws. Although you may hear such rules as stallions can’t be out of a barn and running in a pasture, or that if livestock come onto your property you can sell or butcher them, nothing in the law states either of these as legal.

Can I distrain or hold animals that come onto my property?

The fence statute and two others (RSMo Chapters 270 and 271) address what landowners can do with animals that come onto their property. A landowner may distrain or hold the animals only in non-boundary situations, where property lines are along a road or creek. Contact the owner as soon as possible, and keep in mind that distraining an animal requires you to treat it as your own, that is, that you feed and care for it. Contact an agriculture business specialist for the specifics of distraining animals.

Can law enforcement be helpful in fence and land disputes?

Law enforcement does not generally get into personal disputes between neighbors. However, if specific statutes or laws are violated, they can be helpful.

What can be done to settle fence and land disputes?

Landowners have three options to settle this issue.

1. Sit down and agree between the landowners or livestock owners.
2. If the dispute is under $5,000, you can go to small claims court without an attorney.
3. If you cannot agree and it is over $5,000, then an attorney would be needed and a court will have to settle the dispute. In most of these cases, you both lose!

4. 4. The rule of expanding the boundaries of state system management. State System Administration

4. 4. Rule for expanding the boundaries of state system management

(consistency and modeling of the boundaries of the public administration system, stages and key procedure of the method of systemic philosophy of modeling, modeling of expanding the boundaries, general model of the modeling process)

? For the general case of system control, this rule is formulated as follows:

“the internal environment of the elements of the system management triad – system-subject, system-object and system-result, and the external environment of the system management triad mutually influence each other through interaction channels that are outside the boundaries of the sphere of influence of the system management triad. This circumstance forces the triad of system management to expand the boundaries of its sphere of influence in the management environment with the aim of its own survival, preservation and development.

In turn, the internal environment of the elements of each system of the control triad (system-subject, system-object, system-result) and the external environment of this system mutually influence each other through interaction channels that are outside the boundaries of the sphere of influence of this system. This circumstance forces each system of the control triad to expand the boundaries of its sphere of influence in the control environment for the purpose of its own survival, preservation and development.

Further in this section, to simplify the presentation, we will consider the regulations for the implementation of this rule when building a project of system technology of public administration only for the system of the triad of control, meaning the system-subject, system-object or system-result.

In the case of applying the rule of expanding boundaries to the system of the control triad, the system of the control triad itself (system-subject, system-object, system-result) is considered as the system-subject of expanding the boundaries. The system resulting from the expansion of boundaries can be implemented in the external environment of the control triad system. The system resulting from expanding the boundaries can also be implemented in the internal environment of the control triad system. In the process of expanding the boundaries, the external and internal environment can manifest themselves as systems-objects, the results of the functioning of which (in the sense of influencing each other) depend on the measure of the expansion of boundaries produced by the control triad system.

In another case, when applying the boundary expansion rule to the system management triad, this triad is considered as the system-subject of the expansion of boundaries.

In this case, it is necessary to use the following conditions of the Systematic Principle of public administration (Section 3. 1):

“in order to form and implement public system management, the system-object of public administration must be represented by a general system model”.

“for the formation and implementation of state system management, the system-subject of state management must be represented by a general model of the system.”

“For the formation and implementation of state system management, the system-result of state management must be represented by a general model of the system.”

“For the formation and implementation of state system management, the triad “object, subject and result” of state management must be represented by a general model of the system.”

Let us also formulate the condition of systematic modeling for state system management (based on the Principle of systematic modeling, Section 3.2) in the following form:

external environments and a common modeling system for this system and for a specified boundary” must be represented by a common set of system construction axioms.

The recommended sequence of steps of the method of system management philosophy (Section 2.1) for the rule of expanding the boundaries of the Law of Systematic Management is as follows:

Step 5 . Development of the initial version of the rule for expanding the boundaries of the Law of systematic management for this system of the triad of public administration.

Stage 6 . The choice of one system model or a certain set of system models to describe the working version of the rule for expanding the boundaries of the law of systematic management in relation to a given system of the triad of public administration.

In the implementation of steps 5 and 6, the following key procedure is used “from the initial formula of the rule for expanding the boundaries of the Law of Systematic Control through finding a general model of the system to the working formula of the rule for expanding the boundaries of the Law of Systematic Control”:

1) development of the initial formulas for the rule of expanding the boundaries of the Law of systematic management,

0003

3) development and application of the working formula of the rule for expanding the boundaries of the Law of systematic management for a given system of the triad of public administration.

? Then modeling rules for expanding the boundaries of the system of the triad of public administration consists (following the results of section 3.3) of the following subprocesses (stages) of modeling:

2) modeling resources for expanding the boundaries of the system of the triad of public administration;

3) modeling the methods of using resources to achieve the goals of expanding the boundaries of the system of the triad of public administration;

4) constraint modeling to expand the boundaries of the public administration triad system;

5) system modeling for the implementation of the found methods of using resources to achieve the goals of expanding the boundaries of the system of the triad of public administration under given restrictions;

6) modeling the system for evaluating the effectiveness of expanding the boundaries of the system of the triad of public administration;

7) modeling of the system for coordinating the implementation of stages (sub-processes) 1-4, 5. 6 .

? The general model of the process of modeling the expansion of the boundaries of the system of the triad of public administration will be described using the model of the system technology method (Section 3.3), which for this case must satisfy the following main conditions:

1) model of the system technology method applied to build a model of expanding the boundaries of the system of the state system management triad is a general system. Parts of this general system: analysis, research, design and production, as well as management, examination, authorization, control and archive;

2) in turn, analysis, research, design and any other part of the system technology method model used to build a model for expanding the boundaries of the state system management triad system is described by the general system model in the form of a system technology method model.

3) in turn, the modeling of goals, resources and any other part of the process of modeling the expansion of the boundaries of the system of the triad of public administration is described by the general model of the system in the form of a model of the system technology method. The same general model of the system in the form of a model of the method of system technology describes the process of modeling the expansion of the boundaries of the triad of public administration as a whole.

Based on these initial provisions, as well as using the results of sections 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, it is possible to develop basic regulations for the methodology for implementing the procedures “Analysis”, “Research” and other components of the system technology method for the rule of expanding boundaries.

? Analysis, research, design, examination, production, p permission, control, archive for the system-subject, for the system-object and for the system-result. The constituent parts of these procedures are not considered due to the simplicity of their construction following the example of the previous procedures.

The results of the procedures “analysis”, “research”, “design”, “examination”, “production”, “permission”, “control”, “archive” of modeling should be reflected in reports on modeling the expansion of the boundaries of the system of the triad of public administration for the system – subject, for the system-object and for the system-result. Prior to the final formation of each of these projects, or based on its results, adjustments may be made to previous projects.

It is expedient to form the results of the listed procedures as parts of:

“Analysis of modeling the expansion of the boundaries of the system of the triad of public administration for the system-subject, for the system-object and for the system-result”, -result”,

“Designing modeling of the expansion of the boundaries of the system of the triad of public administration for the system-subject, for the system-object and for the system-result”,

“Examination of modeling the expansion of the boundaries of the system of the triad of public administration for the system-subject, for the system-object and for the system-result”, -result”,

“Permission of modeling the expansion of the boundaries of the system of the triad of public administration for the system-subject, for the system-object and for the system-result”,

“Control of the modeling of the expansion of the boundaries of the system of the triad of public administration for the system-subject, for the system-object and for the system-result”, -result”.

Each of these parts is included in the corresponding sections “production”, “permission”, “control”, “archive” of the general “design project” of the system technology of the state system management.

The application of the system technology method using the procedures described here allows you to build applied methods for applying the rule of expanding the boundaries of the system of the triad of public administration for the system-subject, for the system-object and for the system-result, necessary for transformation into public system management of almost any kind government controlled.

In the previous sections, the following initial formulas of the rule for expanding the boundaries of the state administration triad system were obtained.

Thus, to describe the rules for the integral development of the state potential, this rule is stated in the following form (Section 3.6): at each other through channels that are “beyond the borders” of the state potential; this circumstance forces the PI-system of the state to “expand the boundaries” in order to maintain the role of the state potential in the environment of national production”.

The way to expand the boundaries is the creation of concepts and projects that create and expand the niche of the state potential in social, environmental, economic and other areas. To do this, state policies (internal, external, industrial, energy and others) consider as objects of their influence the national potentials of other countries, the potentials of the regions of the Planet, the components of the Planetary, Space potentials.

To describe the rules for the integral development of a prudent state, this rule is stated in the following form (section 3.7):

“the ideas of the internal environment of the triad and the ideas of the external environment of the triad of the state control system mutually influence each other through channels of interaction that are outside the boundaries of the sphere of influence of the triad of this state control system.

This circumstance forces the triad of the state management system to expand the boundaries of its sphere of influence and influence, in the sense of conformity with the general model of the idea of ​​a “prudent state”, the formation and implementation of ideas of higher-level systems for the purpose of their own survival, preservation and development.

In turn, the ideas of the internal environment of the elements and the ideas of the external environment of each system of the triad of the state control system (system-subject, system-object, system-result) mutually influence each other through channels of interaction that are outside the boundaries of the sphere of influence of this systems.

This circumstance forces each system of the triad of the state management system to expand the boundaries of its sphere of influence and influence, in the sense of conforming to the general model of the idea of ​​a “prudent state”, on the formation and implementation of ideas of higher-level systems for the purpose of its own survival, preservation and development”;

In turn, to describe the rules of integral state innovation management, this rule is stated in the following form (Section 3.8):

outside the boundaries of the sphere of influence of this triad of state innovation management.

This circumstance forces the triad of state innovation management to expand the boundaries of its sphere of influence and influence, in the sense of conformity with its inherent idea of ​​accelerated development, the formation and implementation of the ideas of accelerated development of national (state) systems that are not included in this triad, with the aim of their own survival , conservation and development.

In turn, the ideas of the internal environment of the elements and the ideas of the external environment of each system of the state innovation management triad (system-subject, system-object, system-result) mutually influence each other through interaction channels that are outside the boundaries of the sphere of influence of this systems.

This circumstance forces each system of the state innovation management triad to expand the boundaries of its sphere of influence and influence, in the sense of conformity with its inherent idea of ​​advanced development, the formation and implementation of the ideas of advanced development of national (state) systems that are not included in this system, in order to own survival, preservation and development”;

To build working formulas, it is necessary to use the rules of the modeling methodology described here.

How to use boundaries to expand your potential stve. In search of answers, I took up the rubric “Life is interesting 20+”.

How to develop the habit of living consciously? How to push your own boundaries and learn to understand others? Dave Gray articulated these ideas in the form of a visual clip. And we translated its content for you.

Very often we act unconsciously. We live on autopilot, following algorithms, obeying routines and established habits. One fine moment, paying attention to what you are doing, you find that you are free to act and feel completely different.

He works with companies to help them rethink their ways of thinking, overcome obstacles and seize great opportunities, paving the way for future success and prosperity. Dave’s book Gamestorm has been translated into over 16 languages ​​and has sold over 50,000 copies.

To believe or not to believe. What to say and what to keep silent about. What to do and what to leave alone. What to think about and what not. In any situation, you have hundreds, maybe even thousands of options. When you operate on autopilot, you don’t notice these options.

When the choice becomes conscious and not unconscious, you gain the ability to rebuild your current self. So, choice after choice, you model your future.

Consciously shaping your personality, you get rid of a number of unnecessary habits and open up to new opportunities and perspectives. There are thousands of models of the person you can become.

By consciously shaping yourself, you are simultaneously creating new opportunities for other people as they interact with you and react to you.

Quote on Twitter

By consciously shaping yourself, you participate in shaping the world around you.

It all starts with the “here and now” state, when you pay attention to what is happening to you and around you at the moment.

This way of thinking is part of what I call liminal thinking.

Liminal means “threshold” in Latin. Literally, a threshold is a doorway. But the threshold can also be the starting point, the initial stage of the transition from one thing to another – the threshold of change. For example: “We are on the threshold of new discoveries. ” The threshold is also the limit, the boundaries denoting the transition from one state to another. For example, when something happens subconsciously, beyond the thresholds of our perception. The freezing point is a threshold that indicates the transformation of water into ice and vice versa.

Liminal or borderline thinking is the art of finding, creating and using life’s boundaries to effect change. It is a way of looking at a situation from a position of awareness rather than individual interactions. It is a kind of consciousness that can be applied to the society in which we live and work.

Liminal thinking is the art of finding, creating and unlocking potential. In this video, I explain the concept of liminal thinking in detail:

I’ll start with the parable of the elephant. Do you know this story? Here is an elephant. One king gathered the blind from all over the city in his castle. Then he brought an elephant into the room and asked the guests to describe the object. Blind people made a big argument. One of them began to feel the trunk, the other tail, someone touched the sides. And they couldn’t come to a common decision. One said: “This is a wall”, the other said: “This is a snake”, the third claimed that this is a rope. The fourth touched his ear and said that it was a fan.

What is the essence of this story? Imagine that the elephant is a reality. The point is that we are all blind in our own way. We all see only small aspects of reality. And we can’t come to an agreement in any way, because each of us sees the truth, but this is only part of the truth. The fact is that each of these blind people says what he considers the truth and what corresponds to his experience. But none of them knows the whole truth.

The elephant world is another ancient idea, the notion that the whole world is the back of an elephant. We’ll call it reality. The elephant is reality. But reality is also something incomprehensible. We can also call the elephant’s back as “incomprehensible”. None of us sees the whole truth, we all deal with only part of it. Here’s how it works.

Each of us has our own life experience behind us, observations, events, everything that we have experienced. We observe, we experience. Each of us will have our own, different from the others, experience, so to speak, quite local.

This experience is based on our choices. We know our priorities. We cannot notice everything around, our brain is not physically strong. We only pay attention to things that are important to us, usually things that are relevant to our needs. Based on our priorities, we make assumptions. From assumptions, we move on to conclusions. And based on the conclusions, we form beliefs.

By “beliefs” I mean everything we think we know.

And here we are, standing on the top of our pyramid, which we ourselves created, but in reality we believe that we are standing on the “earth”.

Here is our imaginary “land”. We take our beliefs, the things we think we know, as reality.

When I told the parable of the elephant and the blind people, a picture of an elephant appeared in your head. But you really don’t believe that you have an elephant in your head, right under your skull, do you? However, we act as if we believe. Our idea of ​​an elephant, a snake, a fan, a wall or a rope is the only truth for us. And we act, believing in it. For us, our truth is the only truth that exists.

Quote on Twitter

Beliefs are everything we think we know and perceive as reality.

What is the obvious truth? This is a set of rules and statements that we never question. We form a kind of bubble around things that are obvious to us. We also include those people who tend to share our vision. Usually these are people with similar experiences, perhaps raised in an environment similar to ours. We are creating this bubble. And he confirms the correctness of our conclusions over and over again. This is a kind of self-managed logic that is rarely tested.

There are studies about the Iraq War. The purpose of the landing of the American military in Iraq, indicated by the White House administration, was to stop Saddam Hussein, because he possessed weapons of mass destruction. When it became known that the Iraqis did not have any weapons of mass destruction, I began to wonder – why do people continue to say otherwise? Many justified their point of view as follows: if we went there, then there was a reason.

Obviously, we start with conclusions: if we did something, then there was a reason for it. Again and again, empirical research has shown that we start with conclusions we want to believe, support the people who are on our “team,” and so on.

We begin to think backwards, from inferences to causes, creating rational connections. This is self-managed logic.

Imagine that you grew up in a Christian country. Your experience is predominantly Christian. And here we take a person who grew up in a Muslim environment. Do you think your pyramids will be different? Definitely you will have different experiences and observations with him, different needs. Therefore, you will have different things in priority. As a result, there are different assumptions, different conclusions and beliefs. Each of you will create your own bubble, your own set of beliefs that are different from the other. And this is where self-managed logic begins to work.

Suppose there is some new idea. Whose idea this is, what pyramid it is based on – we do not know. Maybe its creator shares some of the experience with us, or maybe not. How do we give meaning to a new idea?

We are looking for a connection with our inner world: how does this fit with what we already know, does it fit with what we already know? If it aligns with what we already believe, more often than not, we embrace that new idea.

Also, we can try out a new idea and see how it works.

However, the problem is that if an idea doesn’t resonate in any way with what you already know and take for granted, it will be immediately rejected. We reject things that don’t line up with our beliefs. Ideas from the other bubble will simply be rejected, and the process goes both ways. We get a growing conflict.

If you reject ideas that don’t align with the beliefs held within your bubble, you will never try them out. After all, ideas that come from outside are likely to lead to changes in your beliefs.

Self-directed logic protects us from new ideas that cause change and expand our beliefs. This is a kind of protective layer within which we feel safe. We love certainty, we love security. In fact, the bubble protects us from the nebulosity and fears that are inevitable in contact with reality.

The fact is that reality is uncertain. The earth moves under our feet all the time, very, very slowly. I myself began to notice, reading the newspapers, that the world is changing, things are changing: nothing remains the same forever. Everything changes.

Many of my friends knew thirty years ago that the industrial world was going down, but they didn’t leave it, they stayed inside the bubble and used self-managed logic to protect themselves from uncertainty, to feel safe.

The logic that protects us from new ideas also keeps our beliefs intact. The few innovations that we try to find out their importance are what managed to break through our defenses. We only try what our inner critic has already approved. This is how we create a kind of self-governing bubble, which can be a serious danger to us.

Think about this: the less diverse experience you have, the smaller the base of your pyramid. The more unstable

Let’s imagine that you grew up in the same city, never left it, there were always the same people around you. Most likely, your priorities, statements and beliefs will be very limited. And here you are, at the top of such a pyramid. On the one hand, the smaller your bubble, the more protected you will feel. On the other hand, the more things from the outside world will cause you fear. The larger the pyramid, the more stable and stronger it is.

Everything that happens around us (I will add some color) is unconscious for us, a kind of underwater world. All belief building is not something we do consciously. People quarrel, there are conflicts. How do we solve such problems?

The best way is to make the process conscious, to want to understand how you create your pyramid of beliefs. Take a flashlight and look down, start taking apart your own pyramid: “Why do I believe this? What conclusions did I come to? To what statements? What are my priorities and needs? Why did I consider this as a priority?”

We can start from here and go to the pyramids of other people’s beliefs. To do this, we must find a way, firstly, to dismantle our own pyramid, and secondly, to learn to understand the beliefs of other people, and how they came to them. This does not mean that we have to agree with everyone.
