Sea-serpents On Mental Maps

Long before Google Maps and Map Quest cartographers (map makers) would draw sea-serpents, dragons, and other mythical creatures denoting unknown territory. Some sailors took these marks to heart and would not venture past these notations. Other men would see this as an opportunity to chart a new course.

Most day-to-day decisions are directed by our mental maps. We see markers for uncharted waters and choose a path. At times we are unwilling to push beyond the dragon on our map.

All of our dragons are different. For some it’s a fear of change, for others it’s a fear of success, the reasons are irrelevant. The ocean is vast and someone will sail past the point of no return.

The sea-serpents held up in your mental map may be valid but they may be simply preventing you from achieving.
