Are You Purposely Avoiding Clarity?

Your vision will become clear only when you look into your heart. Who looks outside, dreams. Who looks inside, awakens. ~Carl Jung

Why would want to avoid getting clear about what we want and where are going?

Because we instinctively know that when we get clear we will have to take action on that new understanding and possibly make changes in our lives. We have become so accustomed to doing what is expected of us, what is routine, that we don’t stop to consider what we want or need.

We so easily follow along with the mandates of others, especially those in positions of authority. We don’t want to take the time to think for ourselves. That takes too much effort. It’s easier to go along with the flow than to recognize that something needs to change, something could be different.

In spite of our reluctance something inside each of us continues to drive us toward growth and progress. Something in us reaches for clarity, yet wrestles with what comes next.

Will we be moved to take action? To make a decision?

And what about those decisions that we have already made? If we remain confused and unclear then we won’t have to adhere to any standards. We won’t have to do anything, think anything or change anything.

That’s certainly a safe place to be …but is it the life we want for ourselves?

Get clear! What do you want? What do you need? What are you trying to do?
