What a surprisingly amazing day today has been.
I reclaimed my position as captain, and today was my first day back at the helm. And though I was navigating through dark, murky, unclear waters, I felt renewed…light…lifted…hopeful and refreshed!

I cannot allow the dreams, visions, aspirations and goals of others to steer my vessel any longer. As long as I permit the purpose of another to chart my course, I’ll always feel as though I am in unfamiliar territory. This realization alone has brought me so much joy.
I can taste the freedom that Clarity promises, and it makes me want it all the more. It makes me wonder why I ever gave it up.
As I coasted through this day, I realized that it’s not a matter of “IF” I will get back to the basics and claim Clarity, it’s “WHEN!”I drifted through the confusion and clutter and saw glimpses of beauty, freedom, peace, contentment…glimpses of me and reminders of my purpose.
Everything is lining up, and I know I’m moving towards the right decision…I know I have to throw any desires and dreams that are not mine overboard, or else risk sinking into the swampy, watery deep.
I’ll not drown in the labor-filled, uninspired tasks of others. I have far too much to give, far too much to do, far too much to create to do anything so foolish.
I haven’t even lightened my load, yet, and it already feels so good…

Using this blog challenge to find Clarity, Simplicity and the Basics!
I understand this feeling… how making the internal decision already creates the lightness we need to move forward. We start by imagining how we want to feel, and trying that feeling on. Then the actions seem to line up.

The basics are a good thing. It’s sometimes hard to go back to them though and “easier to keep the clutter” which is part of why things remain so murky. One thing I’ve learned lately is that fear drives me to keep the clutter. So I ask you, “What are you afraid of?” Because releasing the clutter means letting go of that security blanket and facing your true goals. No, I’m not there, I need to eat, so my waters stay murky, but I’m realizing the more I let go of the clutter, the “cleaner” the water is…
Good Luck ♥

Like you, I try to be simple and go back to the basics. Clarity is always an iffy thing, but the haze usually disappears if we persist.
Yes, Rosanna! Wise words! And persist, I shall! Thank you for the reminder!
How apt! I was feeling a little bit emo since ytd, I am still feeling a little bit down but am glad that you have bounced back and doing great. Keep it up!
DinoMama,
Feeling down is okay, but don’t stay down for long! The only way the Sun can shine upon your beautiful face is if you have your head lifted up! 🙂 Be encouraged!
