Clarity. We use that word to describe how clear a diamond is.  We use it to describe communication that is understood.  But when it comes to life, stressful or crisis events clarity can be hard to find.  I have a close friend whose counsel and direction help many people.  “But”, as she once told me, “when you are in it, [a crisis], you can’t think your way out of a paper sack.”  It’s not easy to find clarity when you are experiencing sudden change, or loss.  It’s hard to see or think clearly when you feel completely disoriented.

One Question at a Time

Today’s question: What do you know for sure?  That’s how a former employer used to greet me at the start of our workday.  Finding your answer to that one question can get you on your way to finding clarity in any situation.  Start your list today.  Let me help you get your thoughts started:

1. What are the rock-solid things you know that haven’t changed despite your circumstances?

2. What strengths do you have?

3. What truths make up the foundation of your life?

Next question next week!
