Finding Your Clarity.

All throughout my life I was that person who was confused and unsure about everything–who I was, what my purpose was, where I fit in, who I wanted to be and where I belonged. It’s funny how, after transitioning from a life of confusion into a new era of clarity and intent, I crave only clarity around me.

I don’t want friends who aren’t honest in their intentions. I don’t want to hang around people who don’t know what they want in life and don’t care to find out. I don’t want to be surrounded with a crew who ‘doesn’t care’. & I definitely don’t want a man who’s not sure if he wants me, who’s not sure about who he is, or who is not inspired daily to push for the highest level of personal and spiritual greatness possible–even if that means going through the process of dying to self daily.

I look back on my life and realize that such a huge reason for my confusion had to do with my lack of commitment to myself and with the fear that I held onto so tightly for so long. Almost everything truly good for you requires some valuable suffering on your part, and as long as you continue to run and choose to be afraid, you can never truly find yourself or find what God has for you.

I believe that personal clarity and clarity for your life comes from commitment to God, commitment to yourself, and from freedom from fear through bravery.

Commitment (whether it be to God, your dreams, or to yourself, etc) leads you down a path where you are determined to keep going until a goal is reached. You discover hidden pieces of yourself, because you refuse to quit–things like your true intents, motives, likes, desires, and dreams. Just as you discover what you want, you also discover what you don’t want (which is just as important).

Bravery might be most important of all…with it you take the initial leap of faith necessary to get started!  

With it you continue on your path, even when it doesn’t feel good.

This is how I found my clarity.

Have you found yours?
