“Clarity of mind means clarity of
passion, too; this is why a great and clear mind loves ardently and sees
distinctly what he loves.” - Blaine Pascal
One day my elder son, Ganesh Sai asked
me, “Dad! What do you mean by clarity?” I thought for a moment and asked him,
“I think, you intend to author your fifth book on short stories!” He replied, “Yes Dad.” And he added, “I have
already prepared a blueprint to proceed forward.” Then I asked him to prepare a plan of action
with a timeline. He worked out for an
hour and came with an action plan and timeline. Then I said as follows:
When you want to write a book, you
thought clearly in your mind and prepared the vision about the book, and then
you wrote the tentative stories to be written with deadlines for each
story. This is nothing but clarity. In fact, when you start to write down
something, your mind thinks through, and works out a strategy thus clearing the
clutter in your mind resulting in clarity in your mind.
In addition, I advised him to prepare
his action and timeline into SMART goals where SMART is the acronym for
specific, measurable, achievable, measurable and time bound. Finally, he prepared his final draft adhering
to SMART strategy. I asked him whether
it would be possible to execute it effectively.
He replied confidently, “Yes dad.
I can stick to the timelines and complete it on time.” I was satisfied with his response and said,
“This is clarity based on your SMART strategy.” And concluded with a cliché that
a battle is won twice –first in your mind,
and then in reality.
