Clarity is messy
Have you ever cooked a full on elaborate meal in a tiny tiny kitchen? If you have, you know how chaotic it can get. With all the chopping, frying, cooking, stirring, seasoning and plating, the kitchen counters can turn into a full on mayhem regardless of any efforts to keep things tidy. It doesn’t mean you failed with your cooking, it just means you gave it your all. And, an epic mess doesn’t make a dinner any less delicious.
The same applies when it comes to clarity. We seek it, we yearn for it, we want to get there. We want to know what on Earth are we doing and meant to do, why we are here, what is our purpose, what path to choose… but before we gain even the tiniest bit of clarity, everything looks messy. Often times even more so, the closer we get to clarity.
This messiness then makes us act against our intuition and inner voice. We hear the nudges but everything looks so chaotic that it is nearly impossible to trust the heart and ignore logic.
After following your intuition, it is not unusual to find yourself in a situation where everything seems even more chaotic, weird, blurry and unlogical. But when you are there, when it seems overwhelming and too much to handle, take a deep breathe and trust. It won’t be long until something happens, some minor detail falls into place and suddenly, amongst all that chaos clarity reveals itself. And the funny thing is, it makes all the chaos make perfect sense.
No matter how hard we try, we don’t see the big picture until afterwards. We can’t. That is not how life works, how the universe works. We can’t see every turn in the road before we’ve driven through. And that’s what makes it is so hard to trust the path. But even if we don’t see the road, even when the road seems messy and as though there is no way out of chaos, there is a bigger picture taking place, a plan that is not visible for us just yet. And the true path to clarity is through mess, through chaos, guided by our intuition.
This is a reminder for you and me. No matter what the situation in your life is right now, embrace the chaos and let it flow by. Listen to your heart and navigate through even if it looks like you are headed straight to the eye of the storm. It gets clearer after the storm has passed and then suddenly, everything starts making sense. ♡
