Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about clarity—about purpose, joy, and how to find clarity and live with intention in the middle of real life.
Why do we want what we want?
What actually brings us joy?
Who do we want to become—and who do we want beside us when we get there?
When Life Becomes a Blur
Life moves fast. Too fast. The to-do lists, the notifications, the endless obligations. It becomes a blur. And in the middle of that blur, we forget to check in with ourselves. We forget to breathe. We forget to really live.
I don’t mean existing—I mean living with intention. Feeling deeply. Laughing fully. Creating meaning, not just chasing milestones. Somewhere along the way, in the busyness, we lose touch with our “why.”
Sitting in the Stillness
I’ve been feeling a sadness lately. The quiet kind that settles in like fog. It doesn’t always make sense—but it forced me to slow down. To ask deeper questions about who I am and what actually brings me joy.
So I’ve been listening more. Journaling. Praying. Walking. Processing. Choosing presence. And through it, I’ve started to reconnect with what matters.
That’s the heart of how to find clarity and live with intention—slowing down long enough to hear yourself again.
1 Hour a Day = 365 Hours of Joy
I recently read that the average person spends four hours a day on unproductive activity. That’s 1,460 hours a year—over 60 full days.
What would happen if you reclaimed just one hour a day?
An hour to paint. Dance. Call a friend. Write. Sit in silence.
An hour to live more deliberately and feed your joy.
That’s 365 hours a year spent not on autopilot—but on purpose.
You Don’t Need All the Answers
Clarity doesn’t mean you’ve got everything figured out. It doesn’t guarantee you’ll never feel lost again. But it does offer something powerful:
- A way to show up with intention
- A reason to pause and redirect
- A way to live more in alignment with what matters most
And that is how we begin again.
Start with These Questions
If you’re wondering how to find clarity and live with intention, start with a quiet minute and these four questions:
- What do I want?
- Why do I want it?
- Who do I want to become?
- How can I create just one more hour of joy today?
Joy isn’t something we stumble into.
It’s something we choose—especially on the hard days.
And it all starts with clarity.
