Recently, I was in New York City and wanted to meet a friend out by the JFK airport, about xx miles east of Manhattan. The first thing I did was get directions from my friend. She emailed me, “take the A train”. I was confused already. Did she mean the “A” subway line or a real “train” from Grand Central Station I wondered? So I asked another friend. He took out his phone and opened an app of a subway map. He told me to take the number 6 subway to 14th street, change to another route and then another route. Since none of the names of the stops were familiar to me, I couldn’t remember them. So the next morning I found my way to the subway and made it to 14th street, no problem. But then I got totally lost because I didn’t have a map and couldn’t remember where to transfer. I thought a map would be posted inside the underground hallways, but they weren’t. So I had to go back through the gate and get a map from the token seller. Once I had the map, I had to figure out where to go. I identified it was the “L” train. I finally found my way and boarded it. It turned out it was a local and not an express, so it was stopping every couple of minutes. Then the train announced everyone had to disembark because it was being retired for maintenance, so I had to get off. I asked someone where to catch the express. The next train that came wasn’t the one he said was the express, except it really was because apparently sometimes the wrong name is on it. So a nice stranger told me to get on that train until the next transfer point where I got off.
The stranger and I got to talking. It turns out his name was Ray and he was a dancer and had been on a Talent show. He was injured. Had excuses – mom sick, 2 jobs, etc. A friend won the contest and said Ray was a better dancer.
I explained the map to him. How confidence and vision work in place of a map.
The point is, I never gave up or doubted that I would make it to see my friend. Why not? Because I had a map. I knew I could get from where I was to where I wanted to go because I could see it on the map! That’s what’s missing in your life.
