Gaining Clarity As We Cultivate

This is why clarity is so important in our journey of progress through life…

When we are clear about what it will take to step into our true power we become realistic about what we need to change in how we have established ourselves today. We slowly recognize the things that do not serve us. We also come into a beautiful unearthing of all the knowledge necessary to empower ourselves to stand in the face of who and what we desire to be.

Gaining clarity is not an easy journey, especially if we are inundated with life’s challenges. Especially, when we experience daily trauma that paralyzes us at our very core. Some of us may find it easy to roll with the punches life throws at us but for some recovering from set back is a difficult and odious task. It can be incredibly difficult to see possibilities in the midst of dark clouds and circumstances.

And yet gaining clarity is marked as a winning ingredient to uncovering our next move, our long-term commitments, and ultimately our destiny.

So how do we gain clarity? First, grab a piece of paper, grab a pen. Indulge us for a moment.

It is important to iron out exactly what stands in your way to a clear view of what you desire in the future.

• What is standing in your path?

• What paralyzes you?

• What thought strikes you with such great terror that you cannot even stomach the idea of moving forward?

• What in your immediate environment leaves you stagnant and unable to do what you need to do?

Observe for a moment… observe your thoughts, observe your environment, observe your circumstances… what is standing in your way?

Now that we have all of that out of the way, what would need to change in your circumstances, in your environment, in your thoughts to help you move forward? What would need to change to give you better clarity? What would need to change in your circumstances or immediate environment to help you gain clarity? What would you like to change in your life to help you gain clarity?

Write your thoughts down.

Now let's imagine that the change that you desire is a great possibility. In fact, let us imagine it has happened, and all that you desire simply falls into place at just the mere thought of all your obstacles dissolving away. Everything is in its place as it should be and you are exactly where you need to be to gain a clear line of sight of who and what you desire to be.

• Who do you need to be?

• Who do you want to be?

• Where do you need to go to be that person?

• Who do you need to align with to get you closer to being that person?

• Where do you think you will find the most joy?

Write your thoughts down and do not stop until you gain such great clarity in your core that nothing and absolutely nothing else is louder than the vision and the extraordinary being right in front of you.

Clarity is very much about blocking out all the noise and listening to our innermost thoughts. It is about giving our inner selves a chance to be heard. For some, that inner self is a young child that has been silenced into oblivion. For some of us, it is that courageous teenager that dares to want more for themselves. For others, it is that adult that has been struck dead still in their tracks by their life circumstances. Wherever your silence sits, that is the door we want to unlock to get clarity. And this is your opportunity to allow that voice to speak out and be heard.
