How to Find Clarity When You Feel Stuck in Your Love Life

The sky has been very strange in California recently because of the wildfires raging in the state. The smoke is so thick that it seems to block the sun entirely, creating an unusual hue that feels ominous and invites self-reflection.

I admit it may feel strange to talk about love and dating within the same context as scorching fires taking over the land, but I still believe there’s a powerful metaphor, and an important lesson one can draw from these fires if you are looking for love: without clarity, you cannot find what you want, just as the fire prevents us from seeing the light of day.

The importance of clarity in this sense has never been underestimated, and we know this thanks to the plethora of quotes backing up this statement, reminding us all how crucial it is.

Yogi Berra famously said, “You’ve got to be very careful if you don’t know where you’re going because you might not get there.”

Toba Beta said, “The clarity of perception makes reality look as it is.”

“Clarity doesn’t always mean you know exactly what you’re doing. It does mean you know exactly who you’re being and why,” is a quote from an anonymous source that mirrors the same sentiment.
