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 build up to a whole.
- Accessing clarity drills you to learn and become better.
- In order to get clear about where you need to go, you don’t need to have some grand move or idea before you hit that goal. You must start first.
- If your idea goals only occur within your mind, without enabling by doing, attaining full clarity may be difficult.
- Clarity will not happen if you remain stuck; you have to find out what works and don’t. An idea may not get clear until it is addressed.
│ STEPS TO FINDING CLARITY THROUGH UNCERTAINTY
Clarity can be attained by a course of action; doing and trying things, finding what can work. The attention span now is getting higher every day but we need to learn how to choose what truly matters, that serves us. Here are ways to attain clarity of thought and action.
─ Start even before you are ready, prepare yourself for the task, and practice it to fulfillment.
─ Try things by finding what works, this will help you find out if something is worth your time and attention. Sometimes we develop an interest in things we see others achieve but it may not necessarily be the thing that we enjoy when we get to it or the thing that is for us. Trying helps you discover more about your skill level and prepares you to learn on the go.
─ Small baby steps; it is better to focus on one thing at a time, taking measured baby steps that would lead to a final whole than try to do everything at once, in one giant sweep. The result always ends with getting overwhelmed and burnt out.
─ Eliminate distractions; be present in the moment and cut out the things that may distract you from starting. Sometimes it is not that we lack the direction, we are just too distracted by many things going on around us. Find that inward focus or momentum that will motivate or will you to actualize. Even when there are things to worry about, you just have to keep it going, because there is always light at the end of that tunnel.
─ Write it down: Great ideas and things cannot survive only up in your head, you would need an outlet that can help you visualize it. A good practice is to always write your ideas and thought processes down. It gives you a clearer picture of where you need to go. It could also birth new ideas and strategies that can take you a step further into your goals. As the thought occurs each day, as the inspiration comes, put them down on paper, act through it, and watch it come to manifestation.
With these steps, take measurable actions to address your plans, one at a time. Where you want to go will get clearer as in time. First, you need to find out what you truly want for yourself, and then, you need to get started.
Hope you take measured steps to attain clarity!
