So, clarity and confusion. Two simple words. Yet two words that have a profoundness that affects our lives every day.
Moments of clarity bring us serenity and peace, as we see the wood for the trees, or we uncover the meaning of the events in our lives. Clarity brings with it trust, that we are on the right path, that we are in tune with the people and events in our lives. Clarity is a very personal thing. Clarity gives us flow and the ability to glide.
Confusion slows us down, and is characterized by feelings of uncertainty and chaos. Confusion often conjures up negative energy and feelings. We often struggle through confusion, or we resist or reject it. In reality confusion is an essential part of all of us. Without it, paradoxically there would be no moments of clarity.
In recent times, I have noticed again now the influence of other people can profoundly influence feelings of confusion and clarity. A focus on confusion is often created by feelings that relate to people in our lives or events that occur that alter our journey for reasons we do not understand.
In recent times, clarity has become a human condition for me. Clarity always exists. Nothing we think changes the clarity in our lives, it is the way we think about things that changes our perception of clarity. Lack of clarity has something to do with the way we are wired, the thought process we individually follow, and confusion is simply our way of trying to establish clarity. An internal communication process drives feelings of clarity and confusion and clarity can be a state of mind, nothing more, nothing less. We can choose clarity above confusion by simply accepting events and circumstances. Acceptance .. Yes, that is clarity is it not?
The other day I found a piece of paper that I'd created with my best friend a few years ago, and it reminded me of how simple things are when we want them to be. We travel along our path, experiencing this and that - hearing and seeing this and that, and along that pathway we make decisions. Those decisions keep us moving, either in the same direction or in another. Like travelling along a road, we sometimes know our way, we recognise the road - it's a well travelled road as they say - we know where we are going because we have been there before. At other times we see signposts and respond to what they are telling us - we react to them and alter our direction based on what they say. At other times, we register signposts to give us confidence that we are on the right track, we experience 'deja vu' or coincidences we just get that intuitive feeling that we are moving in exactly the right direction. I think this simple little topic is going into my book. Have a gre...
