We may not always have clarity, but we can work on finding it. Clarity isn't a gift, it's something we need to create for ourselves. When it comes to understanding why someone does something, we shall have clarity.

Clarity

Clarity helps us make a decision. To have clarity we must be open and responsive to our experiences. We should also be open and responsive to our inner voice, our intuition, because both bring clarity.

Clarity and being self-assured

When you have clarity, you will always feel calm, self-assured and positive. Having clarity isn’t always easy, because other people’s opinions may get in the way.

Clarity means taking back control

Clarity means taking back control. Clarity is open to all of us. We will have clarity when understand our reasoning behind our decisions. We will also have clarity, when we stop absorbing other people's – particularly the expectations others place on us. Knowing just how you wish your life to go will give you clarity. If you're tied into something and you're feeling stressed about it, don’t feel obligated because you will have less clarity in those times.

Letting yourself down

You're entitled to change your mind, but you may still feel obligated because you're letting someone down. You're not letting someone down, but you will be letting yourself down, if it's not something you want to do.

  1. I do not like surprises or any attempt to offer me something that doesn't exist. There are too many clever people out there.

    So I need clarity on just about everything to avoid misunderstandings.

    1. Thanks Tim. Yes, as you say, clarity clears situations and circumstances up and helps us to avoid misunderstandings.

      Sometimes reading between the lines helps, understanding our lives and understanding others also helps.

      Although we may all find clarity differently, it's an important one to have, because without it we will struggle to function in our 'own normal.'
