Crisis creates clarity

What is strange is that when a “crisis” happens in your life, this can lead to greater clarity. I don’t know if you are the same but when you suffer loss, you start to think about what you really want out of life. Suddenly, life seems short to be unhappy?
That happened to me and the losing of someone you love can have a positive side effect of getting you to really think about what you want from life. For me, it caused me to rethink my career as I had not been happy for a while – I loved the people but my values were being compromised. It is a little like writing the legacy that I spoke about on a previous post.
It may be sad it is a crisis that causes this, but the outcome can be a positive one for you. Questions that I asked myself were
What do I want from life?
What is important to me?
How can I make sure his legacy lives on?
What will bring me happiness?
Hope this helps you create clarity during this awful time.
