Clarity: Calm, Clear, and Creative

More often than not, life’s paths are not a straight shot to your final destination. No, they are just the opposite, winding, foggy, and filled with uncertainty.

What’s around the next bend? What’s that fuzzy image ahead?
You don’t know.

How do you navigate these paths? Do you run with eyes closed hoping to make it where you want to go? No!

Without a clear picture, what’s your next move? Do you stop and give up? Absolutely not!

Please consider with me 21 Ways To Gain Clarity In Life

In Episode One of Seven, we’ll consider the first three ways.

Clarity: Calm, Clear, and Creative
How to calmly clear your path to creative clarity?

Calmness Leads the Way

I don’t know about you, but I can look back at the times I was running myself ragged and I never got anywhere with anything. I take that back. I did get something. I got extremely frustrated.

But guess what? Those times where I forced myself to calm down, produced some of my best results. I could see more clearly because I wasn’t trying to go too fast. I think the quote below sums it up well.

Out of calmness comes clarity.
~Trevor Carss

Daily Doable: Take a deep breath. Nothing productive is accomplished when you’re running at a frantic pace. Slow down. Take one step at a time. It might seem counterintuitive, but your path will begin to present itself faster.

Clear Negativity From Your Mind

There will be obstacles in life you must learn to deal with. Not all obstacles are bad though. Some are challenges that promote growth. But there is one that must be cleared out of the way if you are to ever gain clarity  –  negativity. Negativity occupies space that distracts, poisons, and obstructs clarity.

When people will not weed their own minds, they are apt to be overrun by nettles. ~Horace Walpole

I challenge myself and you to weed our minds. Better yet don’t let negativity take root in the first place.

I refuse to entertain negativity. Life is too big and time is too short to get caught up in empty drama.

Daily Doable: I challenge myself and you to weed our minds. Better yet don’t let negativity take root in the first place.

Creativity That Cannot Be Stopped

A calm demeanor coupled with a clearing of negative thoughts will produce clarity. However, your clarity will be amplified with creativity. Let me explain.

In those moments of calmness and the absence of negative thoughts is where the magic happens. Creative clarity will show you the path forward in some of the most unexpected and delightfull ways. ~Tim Maudlin

Daily Doable: Expect creative clarity. Wait patiently for it and it will come. Be prepared to act. Your path is revealing itself to you.
