What clarity costs, and what it gives back
There’s a version of clarity that looks like calm, but real clarity often costs something.
Having clarity doesn't mean that the storm will end quickly.
Developing and practicing clarity means that you can learn how to stand inside the storm without losing your center.
If you’re in a hard season, you only need steadiness, not perfection. This is a reflective exercise for measuring what clarity costs, and what clarity will return.
