One of the oldest maps in history is the Babylonian map of the world, dated around 600 B.C. known as the Imago Mundi. Maps have forever been a part of human history and will always continue to be. In fact, I would argue that GPS will always be the side kick of an actual map, because a map describes your peripheral progressive journey, GPS falls short of doing this. What am I communicating to you? It is not enough to be motivated, positive and to have the right attitude, we must have true direction, guidance, and a clear sense of where we are headed, our personal map defining our destination. Otherwise, we will never accomplish our efforts, we will be lost, going through life desultorily or aimlessly, what a colossal waste of time that would be! Several years ago, a good friend of mind wrote down his goals in a logical sequence, these were admirable goals, and he crossed them out as he accomplished each one, this was his map. Can we do the same?
Plan or a path to follow. I am reminded of when my son and I got disoriented on a hike in a heavily wooded area, and it is not a pleasant feeling to lose your bearing. But did you know nature can provide clues? Tree branches will grow more vertical on the north side since branches are reaching to the south where there is plenty of sunlight, the foliage is much thicker on the southern sunny side. This quickly provided the orientation, our bearing we needed or map to our destination also, this serves as a metaphor in following your desired path in life, you will enjoy your journey along the way with confidence, and with a clear sense of direction having mapped out your result.
