It can be challenging to know what the next step in life should be, and it's even more difficult when you have to make this decision on your own. Life is full of uncertainty, but that doesn't mean there aren't steps to help find clarity. You will need either the Clarity Code and pen or a notebook and pen/pencil so you can see EPIC results. In this article, I'll ask you 3 questions that can lead you to have clarity in both personal and professional life:

Where am I right now?

This question is about the "real" status of your business and life in general. It clarifies what's stressing you out and, if you could fix it, what it would look like. This question also helps you to write down what's not working.

This is a question about what the present reality is, not what you wish it to be.

Ask yourself: What are my goals, and am I on track? Am I satisfied with where I'm at in life, or do things need to change? If so, how can they get better? This includes both personal and professional aspects of life like family time vs. work hours, for example.

To clarify your answer to this question, try writing down three statements describing who you are now. For example, saying "I want more free time" doesn't really get to the point of what you want. You can clarify your answer by writing, "I'm a workaholic who doesn't spend enough time with his family" or "I am tired and need more exercise."

The first statement: I don't have any direction in my life because everything seems like an uphill battle. The second statement: My personal goals seem unattainable, which is frustrating me. The third statement: Many opportunities could be available for me if only I had clarity on where to start looking for them.

Having clarity in both personal and professional areas and achieving this kind of balance means achieving happiness in life.

Where do I want to go?

After writing down the truth about where you are now, the next step is to answer this question which tackles your goal. The goal you choose is not a destination but rather an idea of where to go. Your answer may be as vague or specific as necessary, and it could take time to figure out your long-term goals.

Another example of this could be as follows:

"My goal is to achieve financial independence in the next five years so that I can spend more time with family and do volunteer work on the side. "

Example Statement Content: The idea of achieving financial security has been appealing, but it seems like an unattainable goal - which is frustrating me. It isn't easy because every day feels like new things are happening or coming up that shift some of my focus away from where I want it to be long-term.

The more clarity you have, the easier life is. That's why it's worth taking some time to get a grip on where things are at and what might need to be done differently just so that there can be less of an emotional rollercoaster ride every day.

What steps do I need to get from where I am now to where I want to be?

For this part, you can find some rest by focusing on the "now" and looking for solutions to your problems. This will help you assess where you are in life, but it's up to you what you do next.

If possible, create a sustainable solution over time rather than something temporary – this way, when one of these issues reoccurs (and they most likely will), there'll be a long-term fix already established.

Moreover, if "solutions" seem overwhelming, try 1 action that you will commit to doing today or this week. Try 1 action to do or 1 step to take.

To summarize everything, if you want to have clarity in your life, you need to have clarity both personally and professionally. That means being clear about what you want out of this blog article and the company's strategy moving forward.

Achieving a sense of clarity takes time, but it starts by taking care of one thing at a time so that each task remains manageable. To be honest with oneself is also imperative for achieving clarity. If things are blocking your path, know when enough is enough; don't overdo it just to please others or yourself (but always remember: "not everything should be shared").
