6 July 2023 - To be successful, know what you want – Clarity
Clarity means the ability to determine precisely what it is that you want. The one single thing the most top successful people do, is they know what they want to achieve. Every single one of them, the top 5%, is very clear about what it is that they want to achieve.
“People who lack the clarity, courage, or determination to fulfill a dream will always surrender to fear and wonder what happened.” - Germany Kent
“You must read, you must persevere, you must sit up nights, you must inquire, and exert the utmost power of your mind. If one way does not lead to the desired meaning, take another; if obstacles arise, then still another; until, if your strength holds out, you will find that clear which at first looked dark.” - Giovanni Boccaccio
“It’s a lack of clarity that creates chaos and frustration. Those emotions are poison to any living goal.” - Steve Maraboli

Psalm 37:23(KJV) The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way.
God is the one that gives us clarity if we ask. The problem is that we don’t ask.
Proverbs 20:24(NIV) A person’s steps are directed by the LORD. How then can anyone understand their own way?
We are directed by the Lord, not through our own will and wants. We have to align our plans with Gods’, then we will be clear about what God expects from us.
Isaiah 30:21(NIV) Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, “This is the way; walk in it.”
James 1:5-8(NIV) If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you. But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. That person should not expect to receive anything from the Lord. Such a person is double-minded and unstable in all they do.
Proverbs 2:6-9(NLT) For the LORD grants wisdom! From his mouth come knowledge and understanding. He grants a treasure of common sense to the honest. He is a shield to those who walk with integrity. He guards the paths of the just and protects those who are faithful to him. Then you will understand what is right, just, and fair, and you will find the right way to go.
If we are honest, walk with integrity, are just, and are faithful to God, then God gives wisdom, knowledge and understanding, a treasure of common sense, he is a shield, guards our paths, protects us and lets us find the right way to go.
