When There Is No Map?

When today is the day, and you are focusing on the what, where, when and how; what if there is no map to follow?

Every morning I look forward to Seth Godin’s blog that hits my email stream. Every day there is something for me to learn and use in my life. One of my favorties was about the subject of when there is no map for where you are going.

Seth talks about those who have done what hasn’t been done before. They had to create their own map. It is always easy to copy once a map exisits, but the copy is never as good as the original. The original is hard work, where to start, where to go, how do get it done? The end result though is the reward of all the hard work and dedication, perseverance and commitment to the task.

I need to make my map. This is a daunting thought, for I can be impulsive, change in mid course and wander all over because I want to discover more and more. I love to get in the car and take off without having any idea where I am going, or which way I will go to get there. I love to drive, and I love the adventure of what is over the next hill or around the next corner. My husband on the other hand is very focused and direct, he knows where he is going, how he is going and why he is going. I don’t need to tell you this has caused many adventures in our marriage. I can be focused when I have to be, I can be very disciplined when it is called for, but I am always looking for the fun of the day!

So I have a map to make, for I want to go somewhere where no one has yet traveled in the way that I would like to travel.

I will be asking for your opinions, advice and general thoughts.

I appreciate that you will come along for the ride!
