Second Chance to Live

Empowering the Individual, Not the Brain Injury

Finding the Clarity that You are Seeking

July 20, 2010 By Second Chance to Live

Hello and welcome back to Second Chance to Live. Thank you for taking the time to visit with me. I am honored by your presence. Last night I stepped out to do some reading over a cup of coffee. As I sat in this trendy coffee establishment I remembered a valuable tool that I once used on a regular basis.

As I sat at the table reading my book and sipping my coffee I decided to make use of the tool. So I took out a pen and I opened my notebook and I began to write. As I began to write, that power of the tool became very evident. In the process of writing I gained the clarity that I had been seeking.

What I had been trying to sort out in my mind — throughout the day — became clear on paper.

As I reflected upon my experience – there in the coffee shop – I recalled how many other times my confusion had been turned into clarity. As I reflected upon my experience in the coffee shop I remembered how the tool worked. Let me share what I learned through my experience.

By taking the time to write – not type my thoughts – on a piece of paper something magical happens. My head is able to connect with my heart and my heart is able to connect with my head. As with a meditation – I have found – that my heart speaks to my head and my head speaks to my heart.

As I listen, my heart speaks to my head and my head speaks to my heart. As I listen, I am able to hear what my heart tells my head what my head needs to know. As I listen, I am able to hear what my head tells my heart what my heart needs to do. As I listen, my confusion turns to clarity.

As I listen, I find the clarity that I am seeking — through the words that I write on the piece of paper.

Today’s thought

My encouragement to you my friend, as I need to encourage myself – use the power of the tool and use the tool often. And as you use the tool, listen as your heart speaks to your head and your head speaks to your heart. And as you listen, your confusion will be turned into clarity.

As you listen, you will find the clarity that you are seeking — through the words that you write on the piece of paper.
