In the current and modern world, there are people who, for various reasons, may have become lost and struggle to function effectively for their well-being. As social creatures, it is understandable that one of the reasons for this could be the lack of a strong masculine guide they can emulate, learn from, and apply their teachings.
Additionally, as visual creatures (particularly men), the creation of metaphors for our lives can lead to a better understanding of the actions we must take. This realization has led to the idea of having a life perspective, a visual framework that individuals can refer to when faced with difficult situations and need to make decisions.
Many people have found success in creating visual boards to help guide their lives, but the concept of a visual metaphor takes this idea a step further. A visual metaphor can serve as a comprehensive, visually-engaging syllabus that can provide direction and clarity throughout an individual's life journey.
This approach could be particularly beneficial for those who have felt lost or disconnected, as it offers a tangible and accessible way to navigate the complexities of modern life. By creating a personalized visual metaphor, individuals can tap into their innate visual processing abilities and find a sense of clarity and purpose when faced with challenging situations.
What about a train methaphor?
I am the train itself.
My values, beliefs, and principles are the train's tracks.
My family is the crew, working together to keep the train running smoothly.
As I travel along this life journey, I encounter various people who come and go - friends, coworkers, acquaintances. They are the passengers who board and disembark at the different stations, which represent the opportunities in my life, such as jobs, careers, education, and relationships.
When I face challenges or need to make important decisions, I must remember that I am the train. Without my own sense of self and my core values, the train will simply stop. Even if others, including my partner, try to sway me, I must stay true to my course. (frame)
That said, I don't have to be rigid. I can still listen to advice and make adjustments, like adding a new window or equipment to the train. (empaty)
But ultimately, I am the one in control of the locomotive. I must keep moving forward, guided by my internal compass. (values)
This is just a personal and restricted POV on life, but could this help?
