It’s like air to breathe when we exhaust the known and are reaching out into the unknown. It’s that flashing blinding moment where you see things clearly, that “Aha!” moment where you are seeing everything so crystal clear and your next step is very, very simple.
Clarity is at the end of a footpath that you have never noticed before. It’s not paved and it’s also not obvious and when you stumble upon clarity and look back the way you have come, you will see the pathway in terms of leaves, grass and bracken squashed down by your own two feet.
Clarity is very personal. One man’s clarity is another man’s mystery. The east has traditions of mysterious inscrutable figures who wait for you to find your own answers as you try to wrest their answers from them with your mind. These masters know that once the mind lays down exhausted, then the learning begins. So they patiently sit, quote bizarre pieces of poetry, tell stories and sometimes even whack you across the head with a stick.
Clarity sets you free. As soon as you hit your point of clarity, the release is palpable – a weight lifts from your shoulders, your spirits rise and everything appears possible as you soar and duck, operating on a completely different level from before clarity (BC).
Clarity leads you to Power. The power to act, the power to act appropriately and economically, the power to move forward with confidence and vigor, the power to know the situation intimately and intuitively, the power to act with self-reliance and sureness, the power to know your subject, not through your mind and logic, but through your engagement and relationship with the subject.
Clarity dissolves problems. Sometimes in the moment of clarity, the problems either completely and magically disappear or transform themselves into opportunities. The clear thinker has a completely different relationship with problems than does the normal thinker. The context of clarity is looking from a completely different point of view than the norm. Oftentimes normal thinking is caught and stuck within the thick undergrowth of how things are done and is trapped, unable to look at things from a different point of view. Clarity almost always comes from looking at things from another point of view.
Clarity taps you into your intuition, your inner wisdom and your unconscious brilliance. Clarity unlocks your being part of your human being-ness. Clarity calls you to operate from your integrity, aligned with your values and calling forth your best to perform. Clarity talks to your giant rather than your midget.
Clarity is visible, palpable, noticeable and transforms and inspires everyone it touches. You see it with great design. All great design has clarity as it’s root, it’s base and it’s reason for being. Think Apple, Porsche, or any piece of design that is astoundingly practical and simple, and you will find clarity embodied.
Clarity is valuable. It’s a scarce commodity. It solves problems quickly, elegantly and economically. When people see a product or service with clarity, they instantly understand it and see that they need it. When people are around products and services of clarity, they become devotees, enthusiastic advocates and passionate users of those products and services.
You need clarity to run everything in your life: your business, your career, your social life, your love life, your family life, your life of contribution. In fact, without clarity, your life can only operate on narrow, selfish and unfulfilling levels, you being unable to see anything beyond being a means to satisfying your own needs.
Your business needs clarity: to understand what your customers need, to find economical ways of producing what they need and to express to your customers that you understand their need and that you have a solution that suits them perfectly.
Your business needs clarity to guide and inspire everyone in the business to work towards common goals. Clarity about what your business is about, what your business stands for and where it’s going, focuses team effort to common ends, is noticeable and attractive to clients and prospective clients and helps your business stay on track.
Clarity has a cost. The first cost is the time and effort to achieve clarity. The second cost is the commitment to performing actions consistent with that clarity. The third cost is maintaining and refreshing your clarity.
Clarity takes courage. Because no one can understand the process you have taken to achieve your clarity, then you are generally operating either in a different way to everyone else or in a different part of the commercial lake to everyone else.
Clarity often sets you apart from the rest, sometimes doing exactly what they are not doing. While everyone else is pushing and shoving to move forward in the same direction, the person who has clarity is often moving with determination in the opposite direction.
Clarity is like air for anyone living outside of their comfort zone. It can mean survival, success or a completely new way of achieving great results.
Clarity – keep your mind and eyes open for it – your quality of life depends upon it!
