TRANSCRIPT:

Hi there, and welcome back to Monday Motivation.

Today I want to share a quote that feels simple, yet if you truly let it sink in, it can change everything.

The quote is:
“When you are clear about what you want, the world responds with clarity.”
By Loretta Young.

Let’s pause on that.

Not when you are busy.
Not when you are trying harder.
Not when you are doing more.

When you are clear.

Over the years, building businesses, losing a business, rebuilding dreams, writing books, starting a podcast and coaching many women, I have learned this:

Confusion creates hesitation.
Clarity creates momentum.

Most people are not stuck because they are incapable.
They are stuck because they have not decided.

Clarity changes everything.

If you do not clearly decide what you want your career to look like, what kind of health you want, what kind of relationships you want, or what kind of life you want to wake up to, your energy scatters.

You say yes to things that do not align.
You stay busy, yet feel unsatisfied.
You drift.

Drifting feels safe in the short term, but deeply disappointing in the long term.

When I was 22, lying awake at 3am feeling completely lost, nothing shifted until I grabbed a pen and asked myself:

What do I really want?

That moment changed everything.

Writing down my dreams and deciding where to start gave my life direction.

Clarity does not bring overnight success.
But it gives your brain direction.

Once you have direction, something powerful happens:

You start noticing opportunities.
You make different decisions.
You show up differently.

The world has not changed.
You have.

So how do you live this quote?

Here are five simple steps you can start this week.

  1. Stop asking, what should I want?
    Start asking, what do I truly want?

“What should I want?” is driven by society, parents, partners, LinkedIn, Instagram.

“What do I truly want?” comes from your heart. It may feel quieter. It may feel scarier. But it feels true.

Take 10 minutes this week and ask yourself:
If no one was judging me and I was not worried about what others thought, what would I choose?

  1. Write it down.

Dreams in your head are vague.
Dreams on paper are concrete.

Ask yourself:
What do I want my life to look like at the end of 2026?
What would make me feel proud?
What would make me feel alive?

Clarity starts when thoughts become words.

  1. Choose three priorities. Not twenty. Three.

If everything is important, nothing is important.

If you could only move forward in three areas over the next 12 months, what would change everything for you?

That is where momentum begins.

  1. Align your calendar with your clarity.

Look at your week ahead.
Does your time reflect what you say you want?

Clarity without action creates frustration.
Clarity with aligned action creates change.

Start small. Always progress over perfection.

  1. Decide.

This is the big one.

Clarity is not about certainty. It is about decision.

You will never feel completely ready.
You will never have guarantees.

But once you decide, your brain starts solving.
Your energy sharpens.
Your confidence grows.
The world responds differently.

Here is a gentle question for you:

If nothing changed between now and the end of 2026, would you feel proud or slightly disappointed?

That question is not here to pressure you. It is here to wake you up.

Your dream life does not happen by accident.
It happens by decision.

If this episode stirred something in you, I want to personally invite you to my upcoming workshop:

Get Clear on What You Want in 2026.

In this session, we will reflect deeply, identify what you truly want, and choose your top three priorities.

We will stop drifting and start designing.

You will leave with clarity and inspiration to plan your next quarter and the rest of the year.

If you are capable, busy and ready for more but need direction, or if you know the direction but have too many priorities, this is for you.

You will find the link in the show notes.

This Monday is not just another Monday.
It is a blank page.
Clarity is your pen.

You do not need to overhaul your life this week.
You just need to get honest about what you want and take one small step.

Your dream life starts with clarity.

I will see you back on Friday.
