Masterful Mindsets ~ Clarity and Focus: Part 2
“Don’t call the world dirty because you forgot to clean your glasses.” – Aaron Hill
Last week I talked about the importance of having clarity and focus when you’re setting goals and striving for success (no matter what area of your life you want it in). So today, let’s just say this is Clarity and Focus Part 2…
I will refer back to my example of wearing glasses – Of course last week I told you (and talked about it on my Facebook Live) that for a long time I fought the fact that I needed readers to see clearly. But once I started wearing them, I realized how much easier it made everything.
Admittedly, I still try at times to get by without them. But inevitably, when I don’t have the clarity and focus that they provide, it always makes whatever I’m doing difficult.
But what happens when you have your “readers” on and you still don’t have clarity and focus?
Recently, I was trying to do something and my focus was blurred. My first thought was, “What the hell?” I mean, I had my glasses on, so why did I not have clarity and focus? Then I thought that maybe my eyes were getting worse and I needed stronger lenses. Then finally, I decided to take off my glasses. I looked at them and guess what? They were filthy! Full of muck. I laughed at myself and thought, “It’s no wonder I couldn’t see.” Cleaned them off and laughed again when I put them back on… Everything was so clear!!! And guess what, again it made the task at hand easy.
So why am I telling you this story today? Because, so often in life our clarity and focus get blurred because of the old muck we are still holding on to. The self-limiting beliefs that we learned from childhood, the past failures and regrets that we just can’t seem to let go of, and the unrealistic fears that overshadow our ability to step boldly into our future.
Check yourself… Look at the lenses you’re seeing your life through. Do you need to clean up and clear away all the old muck that’s keeping you from seeing your future clearly and focusing on your goals? If you feel like no matter how much you want to change things in your life and how much you keep trying to reach your goals – you keep getting stuck and you just can’t seem to make it happen, then there’s no doubt the answer is YES. So what are you waiting for? Do it today… You’ll be amazed at how much more clarity and focus you have. And how much easier creating the life you desire is, when you have that clarity and focus.
