How to Create Clarity in Your Life

Welcome back to The Daily Mastermind, George Wright III, with your daily dose of inspiration, motivation, and education. Welcome back to the podcast. I'm glad you're here with me today. I'm glad you're listening. I hope you're having a good week so far. Yesterday, we talked a little bit about steps and ideas on how you can visualize and manifest your life, which is prosperity pillar number 12 of the 12 pillars. So super excited to be coming toward the end of this and the beginning of some new strategy to be able to help you through the first of the year. So let me look in the Daily Mastermind mobile app here and let's go through the quote of the day. The quote of the day is by Babe Ruth. It's hard to beat a person who never gives up. It's hard to beat a person that never gives up. That's a great thought because one of the things we need to remind ourselves is that it's never a failure if we don't give up. No matter how many setbacks we have, no matter how many circumstances we have, it's never really a failure if you don't give up. In addition, if you learn something from it, right? So today I want to talk to you because I know many people struggle with the idea of visualizing and manifesting their life. And they struggle with this because they really don't have clarity on what it is they're looking to create in their life. And so I wanted to talk to you for just a couple minutes about clarity. And I had a couple of specific bullet points I wanted to kind of hit with you and hopefully be able to give you some ideas on how you can create some clarity in your life, whether it's your life in general or your business or relationships or whatever it is. There's probably, let's see, one, two, three, four, five, five or six steps that I kind of wrote down. these are really critically important things that I believe have helped me to create some clarity and continue to create clarity ongoing. Because I know there's many times in our lives where things kind of mount up and you've got to get back to the basics of creating some clarity. So the first thing I want to do is I want to talk to you about creating space. Because you truly are going to find it's hard to create space. I'm sorry, to create clarity if you don't create some space. And what I mean by that is you've got to slow down. You know, we're so fast-paced, we're so on the go that if we don't slow down, it's going to be very difficult to create clarity in your life. And so this is a process of learning to become still, learning to appreciate silence. See, our minds are so busy all the time that it's very difficult. I don't know how difficult it is for you. it's very difficult for me to just kind of slow down and be still and create some silence. And this might be needing to do it in your schedule. It might mean leaving a little bit earlier for work or for the gym so that you don't have the speed to get there. You know, how many times have you found yourself in your car just trying to get from place to place rather than slowing down and allowing, you know, it's this idea that our thoughts, we have tens of thousands of thoughts, hundreds of thousands of thoughts a day. And if you can just create a little space a little bit more peace by slowing down you find that you have the ability to create the clarity that you looking for And so suggestions I have for you to be able to create some spaces schedule in the morning. Learn to create a meditation practice. And mornings are usually best because if you can win the morning, you can win the day. And I use various apps. I actually have a couple of meditation apps depending on the mood that I'm in. I use the Calm meditation app. There's another one called Waking Up by Sam Harris. I really like that one because it gets into a little bit of theory and it gets you into this conscious awareness of creating mindfulness in your life. And those are a couple of things, just suggestions, that I think can help you to create some space in your life. And then the second thing I think will help you to create a lot of clarity is to be present. Now, we talked a lot about this last week with the power of now, but you've got to be more present if you want to create clarity. So many of us think of vision and manifestation as future, but it's very difficult to create your future if you're not present. So you have to shift your consciousness. You have to become more aware of where your thoughts are going, and you have to notice, and you have to listen, and you have to be present. You know, Brendan Brouchard talks about in his book that in his schedule every day, he'll block time of activities, but he always closes out a block of time or effort that he's doing. And then he also always begins by resetting his intentions. This is back to creating space, but to be present, start any task, any activity, any meeting by resetting your intentions for that moment. When you do that, you'll find that you can be much more effective at being present in the moment. When you say, okay, why am I here? What am I planning on doing? How am I going to approach this next task? Set your intentions of what you're doing and that will allow you to help you be more present. And I'd encourage you to study and gain some more clarity by setting your intentions. And you can look up books by Brendan Burchard and many others that will help you to do that. But the other thing is you can plan in your schedule and try to schedule more because scheduling not just creates a busy person or a productive person. It also allows you to put something in your schedule, in your calendar, and then forget it. Rather than walking around with all these things you have to do, when they're in your schedule, usually a lot of times that allows me to just not worry about it because I know it's in my schedule. I know I'm not going to lose it. I know I'm not going to forget it. So that's another suggestion I have that might help you. So we've talked a little bit about creating space and also being present in order to create clarity, but I'm going to give you another suggestion which may catch you a little off guard, even though you've heard me talk about it, and that is I believe to create clarity in your life, you've got to have a major practice of gratitude. See, gratitude helps you to shift your energy to the present. It helps you to want what you have, not have what you want. And this is a real key, not only to create happiness in your life and clarity but it also the total solution for depression and anxiety and all kinds of things people are struggling with When you practice gratitude it allows you to get more present It allows you to shift your energy and your consciousness towards a more productive and a more grateful person which allows you to create more results in your life. And so gratitude is something that I believe can really help you to create some clarity. And one of the reasons I put that in my bucket with clarity is that I would suggest to you that you have a daily ritual of journaling. you know many excuse me many people talk about journaling for a lot of different reasons but when I journal I like to try to do a couple things number one write down things I'm grateful for number two I like to write down the wins that I have for the day because remember we're trying to train our brain to focus on success to focus on results to focus on happiness and so when you write down your successes and your wins rather than all the emotional baggage that you're you're carrying around. And I'm not saying that's not a productive thing for you in journaling. But when you can write down your wins, when you can write down the things you're grateful for, it centers you. It creates more presence and it will help you to create more clarity. I happen to use an app on my phone called the Day One. It's Day O-N-E, Day One Journal. And the reason I do that is it'll pop off reminders during the day. It allows me to create memories and journaling because I can attach a photo or an audio voice message or voice to text or a video or things like that. So I'm actually putting staples in my life and in my day that help me to remember the frame of mind that I was in, to remember what I'm grateful for. And it becomes a really, really super good productive tool. And it's literally like 30 bucks a year. And you can get a free version of it. So you can download that as well. if you haven't noticed already this pattern, I have three or four or five apps on my phone right on my home screen. And the reason I do that is because it reminds me of things I need to do, like meditation, mindfulness, clarity, goals, journaling. And those apps also have reminders, and it takes all the thought process out of it for me. I just follow those. I follow the prompts. I follow the schedule. I check the boxes, and I can move on with my day. But it keeps me focused on my rituals. I mean, if you're going to be staring at your phone all day long and a thousand different times anyway, you may as well have it be productive for you, right? So the next step besides creating space or being present and grateful, I want to remind you of is something we talked about yesterday, which is to create clarity in your life, you've really got to get clear on what you want your life to be like. And I'm not talking about what you want to do for a living. See, so many people, when I ask them, what do you want your life to be like? They start talking about the job they want or the income they want or this or that. And those are pieces of it. But I'm talking about what is your perfect day look like? What emotions do you want to experience? Because all the things that we create in life are generally to get a certain emotion. And so what emotions, what people, what lifestyle, what is it that you want to have? And I'm telling you, it's much easier to create the vision of what you want your life to be like when you create space, when you're in the present moment, when you grateful when you mindful And so knowing what you want your life to be like is a practice that I believe you should have in your daily rituals every day as well and these are things that could take you like literally a minute is before you close your eyes and go to bed at night just think about what that perfect day is gonna look like rehearse that in your mind you know there's no better thought to have as you're going to sleep as to what your perfect day is gonna be like what you want your life to be like what it's gonna be like as if you're visualizing it in the present moment 10 years from now and so that's another step also to create clarity I believe you've got to create focus you have to create focus in your life in order to have clarity because so many of us get up and we're so busy and overwhelmed that we're not following a clear path and a clear path is the only thing that's going to get you where you want to be in life and that path that clarity is created by focus and focus is a great acronym for follow one course until successful. Now I know some of you are trying to figure out what that course is and that's okay. You know, try several things until you hit a target but then double down and triple down on that target and follow that course until successful. And focus is only created through accountability and structure and a game plan. And so we don't have to get into that here. But these are the suggestions I have for you in order to help you create clarity. Maybe a little different than what you've heard me talk about in the past. create some space be present be grateful get a clear picture of you what you want your life to be like and create focus these are things that will help you create clarity which in turn will help you to better visualize and manifest and attract what you want create what you want in your life now i want to leave you with one reminder and this reminder is clarity only comes through action. So no matter how much work you put into it, no matter how much time, no matter how much space, no matter how present and grateful you are, I found personally that I become more and more clear the more action I take. Action is the only thing that's going to create true clarity in your life, true clarity and purpose in your life. And remember to be patient with yourself. You've got to be patient with yourself because things are going to change, things are going to adapt, but As long as you're going through the motions, you're doing what it takes. The fact that you're listening to this podcast means you're doing the things that it takes. And that's my goal. That's what I'm here for. I want to help to be able to motivate, inspire, and educate you with strategies that can help you to go to the next level. So I appreciate you listening.
