How important is clarity? Most of us really strive for clarity. The questions we ask ourselves, do they need answers? What am I supposed to be doing? What makes me happy, really? What am I passionate about?
How do we get the answers? First of all, we must listen. Listen to our thoughts and listen to God working in our life. We talk to ourselves through our thoughts. Some times we sabotage ourselves by corrupting our minds with negative self talk. How do we rid ourselves of these negative thougths? We must make a focused effort to recognize them and then replace them with positive and effective inner conversation. One ot the ways we do this is to listen and recognize God working in our life. Examine the choices we make and make the one that God would lead us to. Most of the time, not always, but most of the time it is very easy to recognize the choice that God would have us make. Isn't this God working in our life? Also, who are you spending your time with? Who are you listening to? What are you spending your resources on? Are you letting God work in these areas, by making the Godly choices?
Without listening, we can't have the clarity in ourlives that we seek.
