Impromptu clarity in the middle of the unknown

As many of you know I am always in search of something new; something to learn, something to enhance my creativity, and sometimes, things to get me out of my comfort zone. I recently came to learn that I am in constant pursuit of the purpose of my life, what I am supposed to be doing, with whom, where, and why.

If you are like me, then your mind is in disarray all the time, you feel scared most of the time, you wonder if you are doing the right thing, or if you passed by an open door you were supposed to go through. As someone who overthinks, overanalyzes, and over obsesses over things, I constantly operate in the unknown, and when I get clarity, it feels so freeing.

The thing about clarity though, is that it hits you at the most random moments, when you least expect it or when you had asked for a sign and forgot. So, even as you waltz through life, going through the motions, clarity will give you a new perspective, trust me, I know.

Clarity snaps you out of the unknown

You will find that you have more direction, more focus, and a drive, to either get out of the situation you are in or get into something you have been dreading. If you overthink like me, you will quickly forget this moment, and the cycle will continue, and that to me, is the beauty of life.

Clarity makes everything breezy

Once you know what you should be doing, you will not waste time feeding things that don’t fuel the direction you need to take. That means taking that leap and applying for a new job, asking that girl or guy out, quitting a job, starting a business, going back home, repairing broken relationships, or even starting from experience.

Clarity = Priorities

A foggy mind is an indecisive mind, which makes it hard to do things that should be taking you where you are supposed to be. I am indecisive, that I know. I find making decisions hard especially on small everyday things, but when I make a decision, I can not be swayed, no matter the circumstance. With clarity, even the small decisions are easy to make, because you are not overwhelmed, you are more organized, and you literally have a to-do list.

Clarity breeds contentment

Have you ever sat down and gave yourself a good mental whooping for not appreciating the things you have, when people are going through worse? Yeah, me too! With clarity, you will never have to second guess how your life turned out. Instead, you will see things as they are, and you will learn to actually appreciate the things that you have allowed to go unnoticed, like how good you are at something.

While I am no expert, I hope you get some clarity in the mundane things and even when you are in search of your purpose. Jon Bellion sang "we live in an age where everything is staged and we fake our feelings". If that's what you are doing to get by, being different personas, and all that good stuff, I applaud your commitment. However, don’t lose who you are.
