Clarity in thought

Published: Sunday, 21 April 2013

Clear away some space and time for yourself.

Without the pressure of someone bursting in and occupying your space.

By giving yourself the time and space to think about things, without the pressure of looking good in front of other people, you can give yourself the chance to have clarity in thought and the freedom to create something authentic and deeply meaningful.
