As I write to you, I am coming off an incredible week of momentum. We are literally one week away from ending the third quarter of 2022. Hopefully, you can look back over the last three months with a sense of pride and accomplishment. I hope you have made extraordinary progress and experienced incredible breakthroughs in your life. If you are not happy with where you are, then you have three months to get some things in order. As many of you know, I recently ended a clarity detox. It was a time for me to shut out the distractions, silence the noise, and get crystal clear about the next chapter of my life. After the thirty days were over, my life was totally different, my clarity increased, my perspective changed and my paradigm shifted. As a result, I saw my productivity skyrocket in a way that I have never seen before. It was one of the best decisions I ever made. Ultimately, the greatest thing I learned during my clarity detox was about the power of alignment. I want to share some insights with you about why alignment is so important to unlocking the next season of your life. I hope you will apply these principles as you end the third quarter of 2022.
- Clarity helps you identify what is not working in your life. Just before my clarity detox, I had just come back from a vacation and I just felt like something was off. I tried to jump back into my normal routine. However, I felt like the operating system of my life was just not functioning at peak performance. I tried to ignore it for a few days. However, that feeling of dissatisfaction just would not go away so I knew that I had to do something. While I am a very perceptive person, a lot of people are not perceptive at all. Deep down on the inside, they know that something is off about their lives but they are unwilling to take the time to do anything about it. Therefore, they continue to live trapped in the same cycles of frustration, failure, and defeat. Before you go into the fourth quarter of 2022, I want you to take the time to identify what is not working in your life. Stop pushing through and take the time to assess the pain points of your life. When you ignore the lessons that life is trying to teach you, you rob yourself of the right to liberation and the gift of transformation. Most of all, if you continue to ignore what needs to be corrected you will ultimately see the collapse of your life.
- Clarity empowers you to confront truths about your life. During my clarity detox, I spent a lot of time in introspection. Many people live in a constant state of imprisonment because they are afraid to embark on the journey of inner exploration. In other words, most people are afraid to be by themselves. Furthermore, even more, people are afraid to be alone with their thoughts. I do not mind being alone with my thoughts. In fact, I have to take time on a regular basis to think and assess my life. As I embarked on this journey of inner exploration, I was forced to confront some truths about my life and the next chapter of my life. As I asked deeper questions, I tapped into deeper answers and made new discoveries about my life. Most people think that denial will make things disappear. On the other hand, I have learned from years of experience that denial simply erodes the quality of your life. There are dreams, visions, and potential lying dormant in you and waiting for expression. At some point, you have to stop lying to yourself about why you are not living the life of your dreams. We will all reach a point in our lives where we have to stop making excuses and start embracing the truth about our lives. Any truth that you are unwilling to confront will create conflict in your life. More importantly, any truth that you are unwilling to confront will cripple your growth and development. Avoidance will never bring peace or fulfillment to your life.
- Clarity is the catalyst to alignment. As I gained more clarity about my life and the next season of my destiny, the thing that became apparent to me is that my life was out of alignment. How did I come to this conclusion? I was making moves that did not support what I said I wanted to manifest in my life. In addition, I had to be willing to destroy structures that did not support what I was intending to build in this season of my life. You know you are out of alignment when you find yourself stuck, frustrated, unfulfilled, anxious, unsettled, confused, lacking direction, unmotivated and unproductive. The powerful thing about clarity is that it serves as the engine for the calibration of your life. Alignment will force you to detach from dysfunctional relationships, disempowering beliefs, and destructive habits. Clarity will dismiss everything from your life that divides you from your purpose and undermines your potential. When you operate from a place of clarity, you stop tolerating things that threaten your transformation and stifle your advancement. Clarity removes the unnecessary so that you are empowered to live an uncommon life. Clarity always ushers you into new realms of possibilities.
- Alignment always determines the advancement of your life. While my clarity detox is over, the wisdom I gained during that thirty-day period was life-altering. Honestly, it has changed me personally, it has changed me spiritually and it has changed me psychologically. For the sake of time, I will not expound on each of these points but I will say that it has changed the relationships in my life, changed my finances, changed the opportunities that I have attracted into my life and it has changed the way that I do business. I know so many people that are stuck in their lives and they have no clue how to get unstuck. It is unfortunate that so many people go through life blind when they can walk in the light of clarity. Too many people think that simply acquiring more information will empower them to advance. What I know for certain is that new information processed through an old paradigm will never produce breakthroughs. New information must be processed through a stretched mind to propel breakthroughs in your world. In other words, when you come into proper alignment you are empowered to expand. The expansion of your mind will always fuel the advancement of your life. If you never align your thinking, you will never alter the trajectory of your life. Before you go into the fourth quarter, make the internal shift that will set you up for inevitable success.
