Why does one worry in life?
Worry has become a habit for many. An inner energy that is not creative goes on going in circles of worry. A creative person is one who when encounters a problem are focused on the solution and is not a victim to the problem.
In managing life creatively workshops I teach people how not to be victim to the problem but covert the problem as a spring board for possibilities.
A doctor does not cure illness but allows the healing process within to surface by giving it the right condition.
So too, the true healer to your problems exists within you. But, you have to give it a right condition flower forth.

How does one acquire clarity?
Clarity is acquired not by knowledge but by knowing. It is not a belief system; it is intelligence operating in the domain of freedom.
The true meaning of renunciation is not renouncing the world but bondage. When bondage is renounced then there is freedom. So freedom is the most important thing. In freedom lies intelligence. It is not just discipline but true freedom. Freedom not something devoid of order but it is a flowering of order.
