Are things in your life not clear today?
How about the last few days, or weeks?
How about the last few months? Years?
When things are not in focus, things get blurry. Maybe you're going through some big (or not so big) changes in your life. Work changes are the norm, so pointing the finger at work for lack of clarity might not be your best option.
In John Maxwell's book on Life Wisdom, Dr. Maxwell states "Clarity of vision creates clarity of priorities."
Do you know your priorities in life? What's your priorities where you work? Do you know? If not, maybe you should ask your employer what your priorities should be. Doesn't matter if you're new the organization, or have been there for years. Things change, so you should change as well.

My journey has taken me from being chronic ill for 30 years, having had medical prognosis like “He shouldn’t be able to walk, talk and should be death six times by now”!
As well as going through 3 failed kidney transplants; over 4500 life saving treatments so far; several depressions that one almost led to suicide and a 80% hearing loss that helps me to only hear what I really want to hear! :)
Well, I’m alive like never before!
That all hasn’t stopped me from living a life above average. Becoming a multiple award winning global inspirational speaker, victorious mindset mentor, running a 30 km race and more!
I believe that to inspire people to create a victorious mindset clears the way ahead to the unlimited life they desire.
