Attracting
and retaining moments of clarity
I live in a confusing, occasionally conflicted,
and often unpredictable brain. I have moments
of extreme clarity, purity, understanding and inspiration; as well as periods
of confusion, doubt, muddiness, and uncertainty.
There is something that I like in life, and because I like it so much, I’d like more of it. (To my gutter dwelling friends, no, it’s not that!)
Some
of my favorite moments are those when I feel I have absolute clarity, sense of
purpose, brilliant (if I can be so arrogant) recognition. It’s seeing not just how to fix the problem,
but the revolutionary endowment of
the solution. I truly thrive on these moments
of clarity, and would like to have them more often!
Most
problems and challenges have a solution or outcome that will "work" to fix the problem. But many have a bigger picture solution that
doesn’t just cure the ailment, but eradicates the disease. These are the solutions we seek. These are the ones that require the deepest
understanding of not just the problem, but the potential consequences or at least implications of the
proposed solution. It’s easy to add air
to a leaky tire. It’s a bit more work to
repair or replace the tire. It would be revolutionary
to install magnets on the sides of the roads that would remove all the
nails. (Ha ha!)
Genuine problem solving requires us
to seek deep understanding. It requires
us to obtain absolute clarity. Living in
a muddied brain, it’s difficult to maintain the purity of thought to consistently
deliver this level of intellectual capacity.
However, living in a balanced, rested, active, brain, these moments seem
to come more often.
What can we do to
find ourselves in clarity?
How can we
get ourselves into the zone?
How might
we endow the solutions to the many problems we face?
What works for you?
Want to make a
positive, long-lasting impact?
Figure out your formula, and let’s get
ourselves into the zone!
