Achieving moments of clarity requires being open-minded, curious, and attentive to opportunities when they arise. However, maintaining balance and discipline is essential for sustaining clarity. It's also easier to maintain a clear perspective with the support of others, as it's often easier to see someone else's problems than our own.
