We are all familiar with the big red arrow
containing the words “You Are Here” which can be found on maps everywhere. Whether you are wandering a theme park looking
for a particular roller coaster, hiking a trail in search of your car, or
simply searching for that “cute little shop” at the mall, there is something
comforting about seeing those three words printed across an oversized, upright
map. Everyone from Pocahontas to my
directionally challenged mother is able to take one quick glance at the map and
see exactly where they are in relation to their surroundings.
Wouldn’t it be nice to have one of those
arrows for life? Whenever you felt lost,
you could simply saunter over to the nearest map and see exactly where you are in
life and where you need to go to get to your destination. Should I accept that
job or not? Should I marry that girl? Should I eat a second piece of pie or
not? (Hint: The answer to that last
one is always yes.) Life would be so
much simpler with a road map.
