Just as we use maps or GPS navigation to travel to a destination, we also have maps in our mind about where we are going in life, or what the point of everything is, or what we need to make us happy and fulfilled. That’s why we sometimes describe events or seasons of life as being “mapped out.” We turn to the language of “maps” because we see our lives as a journey, a story with a beginning and an end, and we see ourselves on route toward a destination, pursuing joy and happiness.
