The importance of maps

At a recent talk by Professor Nick Binedell, he spoke about the importance of a map and a mirror to any journey.

The importance of the map is somewhat self explanatory. Maps – the visual descriptions of the roads we need to travel to reach our destinations – are useful in keeping us oriented and focused.

Mirrors are important for keeping track of our progress on these journeys. If you haven’t already, take the time to start plotting your map. Describe the destination clearly to yourself, and highlight the markers you will need to reach along the way.

At the same time, use the mirror to understand yourself better. Understand why this journey is important to you. Make sure you doing it for you, and not for someone else. Check your progress along the way, understanding better where you have done well and where you need to work harder. An opportunity of a lifetime needs to be taken in the lifetime of an

opportunity.

Start your journey.
