You can’t force clarity.
Clarity is something that needs to be surrendered to.
Like when you’re in the middle of a big life decision—stuffing more “solutions” into your mind will probably only further confuse the matter. When what’s really needed, in most cases, is less stuff altogether so that the quiet, unmistakable voice that speaks from deep within can offer its solution based on the depth of knowledge that’s already there.
Try to force the mudded pond to settle and you’ll mud it more.
Surrender to the settling process and the pond floor suddenly starts to come into view.
