Create the Map

Today on Create the Map, I’ve decided to ask a question. You’re welcome to just ponder it yourself if you’d like, but I’d love to hear any thoughts you have in the comments section below. It’s a question I’ve been asking myself lately.

Today’s article is about taking action. One of the key elements of Create the Map is doing. Not just thinking and dreaming, but actually doing. Do you ever have a tough time starting? Do you ever have a tough time finishing? Are you held back by feeling like you’re just not ready yet? Do you get frustrated by your ideas and dreams that you haven’t acted on?

Dr. Seuss’s First Children’s Book Was Rejected by More Than 20 Publishers. Did you know that no one wanted to publish Dr. Seuss’s first children’s book? Depending on which version of the story he told, somewhere between 20 and 29 publishers rejected the book. Can you imagine getting rejection letter after rejection letter?

This is such a simple question but sometimes hard to answer. How you answer it is completely up to you. There are no right or wrong answers. But it’s a helpful way to gauge what’s important to you, what you value, and how effectively you’re using your time.
