If you want to own a mansion, start by building a hut. A life of clarity and intention takes commitment, discipline, focusing on what truly matters, and getting rid of doubts and distractions. Clarity makes things easier and when you get clear on where you want to go, the things you need to do, and how you want your life to be, you will live with intentionality and focus on the progress of your process. │ THE TRUTH ABOUT CLARITY It is an ongoing process that occurs throughout the journey of life. It is not straight up fixed or guaranteed on the go, but it occurs at one point or the other in time. Clarity is an ongoing process of time; the more you act on a goal even before you are ready, the clearer the picture gets along the way. It entails taking small steps, one at a time to gradually…
In the world today, there is a lot to process, there is a lot to become. Because of this, it is easy to get overwhelmed and consumed with a lot of things. With mounting pressures to figure things out in the now, it can be bothersome to discover that, sometimes we can’t have it all figured out. We can only live for the now, for anticipation of a positive tomorrow. How we are now will determine a lot of what will be tomorrow so it is necessary to journey in an awareness of the present. But being aware and present is not enough in the midst of the trials and troubles of today. We must strive to give and surrender ourselves to freedom from control. Perhaps, some things are just to occur naturally without us intruding, and other things birth their own way, in due time. By doing this,…
─ Questions About Identity There comes a point in many people’s lives when they can no longer play the role they have chosen for themselves. When that happens, we are like actors finding that someone has changed the play. – Brian Moore. What is identity?

Maybe identity can depend on who you’re with, what you’re involved in, where you are in your life but these things are also limited by changing growth. Perhaps…
Ever felt like there is more to living than the incessant way the world is moving faster, getting by as quickly as we can because everything has to happen now? Being still is hard but attainable. Why? Because in today’s world, being slow is not so cool. There is timing to life and it can be full when we are attuned and prepared for the things that truly matter. I discover the truth about time is not about going faster or slower and practicing stillness is the key to decluttering from all the noise. It also helps to build a relationship with God. With the advent of the Covid-19 situation, the world is forced to stand still; a different kind of slowness that we are not used to. What if navigating the times is a way to get more attuned to yourself and pay attention to everything else you didn’t…
