I went to search for the meaning for the word ‘Clarity’ and this is what I found:-
[+] clearness or lucidity as to perception or understanding; freedom from indistinctness or ambiguity
[+] the state or quality of being clear or transparent to the eye; pellucidity

Of course, for the purpose of this post, the first definition would be more relevant in context and I am going to talk about the power of clarity.
In case you do not know, the Law of Clarity states that the clearer you are about you, the farther you will go in life.
It is amazing when you know exactly what you want in life, the chances of being able to make it become a reality is much higher. In fact, when you are focused enough, you will achieve you goals in life.
Successful people like Bill Gates, Richard Branson, Dale Carnegie, Donald Trump and Adam Khoo know exactly what they wanted before they became what they are today. This is because they designed their own life plans and follow through.

Today I want to share with you 5 types of dreamers on earth. Take a close look at them and if you wish, please post me a comment on what kind of dream you are okay?
1. Those With No Dreams
It is interesting to know that there are actually people with no dreams. They just live to get by and waiting for the next day to come, just like that.
People under this category do not know what they want or have no desire to strive for better at all. They live out their lives in frustrationi, boredom and regret.
2. Those With Low Dreams
This group of people are slightly better. They just want a simple life with decent job, getting stable income, living peaceful and comfortable with little increment in life.

Recently I have been exposed to this big word - Passion. Do you know anything about passion? What does it mean to be passionate about something? Also, how important do you think passion is?
I did not know until I was exposed to the importance of passion. Let me share with you what I have learned about passion. Ready? Let’s get started.
What is Passion?
Passion is the irresistable and boundless enthusiasm for your belief or action. In order to have passion towards certain thing, you will need to have an enthusiasm that cannot be hindered or affected in any given circumstances.
In other words, when you have passion towards something, you will eat, drink and sleep about it. You think about it all the time and often, the only thing that is going on your mind would usually be how to make it better and better and better and better.
For example, when you are passionate about your Italian restaurant, you will never stop thinking about how to make it better, how to provide more value to your customers and how to make it more comfortable for your customers to stay.
“If you don’t have passion, you don’t have energy and if you don’t have energy, you have nothing” - Donald Trump.
Passion can be further acknowledged with the following components - P.A.S.S.I.O.N.

Wow, this is a big thing. Most people know they should but they just wouldn’t change. Why bother changing an attitude? It is because this is the only way to adopt successful strategies and be like them.
The real secrets only lie in 6 R’s. Let’s take a look at each one of them.
1. Review
This is the very first step and the most important step. This is the step where you identify your problem in terms of your thinking and behaviour. Often it is easier to take it if you identify the problems yourself rather than a person telling you what you need to do.
So, do a review on your own. What did I do wrong the past week? Which area of my life I did not do well? What was the cause when such problem persisted?
You will be surprised when you identify these problems. Don’t feel bad when you know you are weak in certain areas. All of us is weak in a particular area, as long as we know how we should work on it.
You may ask the people around you if you can take it and you must ask from a credible source. You wouldn’t want to ask how you can become a millionaire from a guy whose profession is cleaning the toilet.
2. Resolve
Now that you have identified your problems and it is time for you to make up your mind and decide firmly that you want to make a change in your attitude.

Andre Agassi - world’s number one tennis player - had always been performing at his peak. However, for some reasons, he started to go into a slump and began to lose focus on what he has been doing.
He kept missing the ball and making wrong moves. Nothing seemed to be in order. As a result, he lost his confidence and his performance started to drop.
Finally, he had decided to do something about his dropping performance. He consulted the world’s top motivational speaker - Anthony Robbins - on how he could go back to perform at his peak.
Anthony Robbins explained to him that the reason why he started to drop in terms of his performance is because he was not in the same resourceful states he was in.
In other words, he was not in the same mood of performance.
What Anthony Robbins then did was, he got Andre Agassi to watch videotapes of the matches he won in the past. As he watched, he realised that the way he played was very different compared to the way he presently carried himself on the tennis courts.

One of the habits that make the successful individuals so different from others is their ability to master their feelings. Over the time, I’ve learned to control my feelings and I still have a long way to go.
Our ability to make decisions are based on our emotions most of the time. Even Anthony Robbins said that people do things based on emotions. That is why, he called himself a ‘Why Guy’. He ‘whys’ you do what you do.
So why do you do what you do? I mean if you are a doctor, why are you a doctor? If you are a businessman, and why are you a businessman?
The reason behind is probably at some point of your lifetime, you made a decision to become a doctor or a businessman and why? It is because you are emotionally driven by some values, thoughts, exposures or some other factors that affected you to make such a decision to become a doctor or a business man.
Don’t worry if you do not know what I’m talking about. I’m only trying to make the post looks longer. The real deal only comes now.
Successful individuals live by their commitment and not their emotions.

I want to give you a relevation in life. You might need to take a pen, write this down and put this on the wall in front of your table. It is this.
Each of us has 24 hours a day.
Yes, 24 hours. Whether you are a toilet cleaner or a CEO of a listed company, you have 24 hours a day. Donald Trump, Bill Gates, Warren Buffet and my favourite motivational speaker, Adam Khoo has 24 hours a day.
How do you think they manage to do so many great things within 24 hours a day, while some of us complain that we do not have time? 
There are 3 ways you can do the same if you follow act upon these principles.
1. Analyse Your Lifestyle
Everyone lives differently and only you, yourself know what kind of lifestyle that suits you best. Also, each people manage their time differently based on the nature of their lifestyle.

If you have one million dollar, it will be written in such a way:-
1,000,000. Right?
In case you don’t know, the ‘1′ that has the right to stand at the front represents your health.
It simply means, even if you have a million dollar in your bank account but you do not have good health, you are truly back to nothing.
In fact, it is not the ability to make a million that comes in as the top priority but the ability to maintain your health.
Imagine that now you are on your ways to climb Mount Everest with a group of people. Once you have reached the top, everyone is enjoying the amazing sceneries and shouting for joy.
However, because of your illness, you are not able to enjoy it. So watch your health.
