Motivation is often treated as the key to action. When people feel stuck, they are told to push harder, think bigger, or try again with more energy.
But motivation is unstable. It rises and falls based on mood, energy, and external circumstances.
Clarity, on the other hand, creates calm. When you understand what truly matters and what your next step is, action becomes easier and more natural.
This is why clarity leads to better long-term decisions than motivation. It removes noise and allows consistent progress.
