Reinvent the map and thus reinvent L I F E!

When was the last time you set out for a destination and at the end happened to realize that you reached the wrong place?

It happened to me and makes me think what could have done to avoid it?

First of all, those journeys usually started with a map- a map created in mind with lot of assumptions and own notions of the destination. Many at times I did not even mind to check with others or refer a well known map.

Each of these not-so-good-journeys could have avoided with a bit more attention to the map.

Well, I could relate this experience to the journey we are part of every day. The journey called life (no escape from it).

Unlike other journeys, the life journey does not give you a second chance. We are all busy living the life and following the ‘system’ - made by some-people-out-there. Shouldn’t we take a pause and think about the map we follow for the journey – L I F E?

I know there is no ‘life’ in life if I followed a not-so-sure-map or no map.

Do you happen to have a map made out of lot of assumptions (and/or) selfishness (and/or) self-pity (and/or) hatred? Is it stopping you from reaching your ‘best self’?

I think life has its own ways to show us the right path and the map will be reinvented every now and then from each of those experiences. We need to LOOK for it. Give attention to the details and the lessons it’s trying to tell us.

Also, aren’t there teachings already available for us to refer and reinvent the map? What stops us from following them?

Now,
Take deep breath and try to see your own map. Be not complacent. Ask powerful questions. Reach out and re rethink. If you have to take that BIG leap in the process of reinventing the map, Do NOT be afraid.
