“Clarity of mind means clarity of passion, too. This is why a great and clear mind loves ardently and sees distinctively what it loves.” ~ Blaise Pascal.
The more we know why we are doing what we are doing, the more freedom we have to explore all kinds of ways to get there. Say, if we do not know why we are doing something, don’t you think our activities lack clarity, meaning and direction?
So the clearer our purpose, the more ways to fulfill it.
The more we can tap on our ideas, possibilities and out-of-the-box options for achieving success. Knowing our purpose, we have a criterion in our decision making and success in those endeavors coupled with the motivation to creatively circumvent the obstacles in getting there.
As I conclude this post, I wish to leave you a food for thought, “Rule your mind or it will rule you.” (Horace)
Have a meaningful day. Enjoy it and God Bless.

Nice one Michael. Awareness and clarity – we get nowhere fast without them. We must ask each day: ‘Is this moving me to OR from my goal?’ 🙂

Be clear, empty the mind of thought and lessen the grip of control, let the creative you come out and play. Worry, doubt and control disappear when fear is gone.
Be clear and love you first, be clear be positive and act positive.
Thanks for expanding this post with your thoughts. Very true indeed. Keep sharing Marty. God Bless.

Indeed Bela. Free your mind and the rest will follow. Thanks for the reminder. Have a pleasant evening and best regards.
Your post told me that I should refrain from any action when my mind is not clear. Namely, I need sleep before continuing my work. I’m going to take a sleep for a few hours. Thank you, Micael.
Perhaps Enjoy your slumber !!!
Thank you. I woke up.
I am sleepless now. Will be watching soccer life later. Regards !!!

Why? Is the key to motivation, the end result of your goal does not always motivate you or your passion.
Generally, our achievements are dependent on motivation – internal and external. But, if our goals are clearly defined and crystallized in our thoughts, the process will be a lot straight forward and not as easily distracted. Of course, there will be other layers that I have not addressed here yet . Trust my brief comment will suffice at this moment. Regards !!!
My habit in the past has been so unclear. When I remember what my mission is, then the path is so much clearer and I have so much energy behind it with less effort.
