Clarity
When the surface of a lake is calm and its water clear, it reflects the light of the sun just like a mirror! When a stream is clear, it flows over rock and stone and you can see through it and watch the fish follow the current! When the sky is clear there are no clouds to be seen; it is vast and open and beautifully blue!
​
When our mind is clear it’s like the surface of a calm lake and an open sky! This happens when our thoughts and emotions settle down. A clear mind helps us see and think clearly! This is what the Human Value called clarity means.
Clarity has a lot to do with love. Because when everything becomes calm within us, we can tune into silence and hear the voice of our loving heart guiding us. Its presence fills our minds with a powerful light and it is this light that helps us understand situations and even our own feelings better. It helps us to be clear about our intentions and goals, too, and to make the right decisions by showing us which are the best words to say, and the best way to act, so that good may result in whatever we think, say and do!
Marty knows that clarity is a very important Human Value. To cultivate it he aligns his antennas and sits in silence for a few minutes every day. With his eyes closed and paying attention only to the sound of his breathing, he envisions the image of a crystal-clear inner lake. He feels its smoothness and the warmth of the sun reflecting on its surface. When he opens his eyes, he feels lighter and wiser and more confident! This is because he made space for clarity to shine within him!

At the beginning of each month you will find a new value to "walk with"! If you wish to pick another one in the meantime, our "Value Card" page is set up for that! And why not make your own value cards to keep at home or take to school, so everyone can pick a value?!
