Mental clarity is seen from multiple points of view.

We think a lot about what mental clarity means and ultimately at the end of the day, it's

all about perspective.

You know, it's about perspective on yourself, on other people, on life, on situations.

It's being able to think mindfully and clearly in the moment without getting trapped and

pulled into your narrative, your story about what you believe is happening.

And that doesn't mean that you disavow all the story in your mind.

It doesn't mean that you disregard the narrative that you have in your mind.

Because that narrative in your mind about what's real is real to you.

real to them.

And so what each of us are experiencing are our versions of reality.

The issue comes that most people don't recognize that, that they think that what they're experiencing,

what they think is happening in reality, what they see is the narrative of their life

and of everyone else's lives.

The thoughts that they have about themselves, about other people, about people's motivations

or people's intentions or people's desires, they think that all of those things, all of

the stuff that just exists in their head, they believe is fact.

And that's a real problem.

It creates a lot of suffering.

And one of you do that, what happens is that you get into conflicts, you make assumptions
