Living in the past doesn’t bring clarity because using the past memories to weight current situation will always induce an emotional cloud of those past emotions that will color your evaluation.

Living in the future in the hope of a hypothetical event that will change you doesn’t help either first you are throwing away your personal power and you create unnecessary expectation that certainly turn into insecurity.

You create clarity in the here and now; in the unfolding moment. If you want clarity about a situation quiet your mind , you can do 10 minutes of alternate nostril breathing.
Look at the situation If it was a movie , see yourself acting in it. If for one reason or another you are suddenly filled with so called “negative” emotions, tell yourself that you accept them, tell yourself that you accept the totality of yourself. This will help to discharge these emotions, if necessary continues the deep breathing while you are observing the situation that you want clarity for.

Once you feel quiet ask yourself what you are learning from this situation. Ask yourself what is the deepest truth concerning the situation.

As an example, you might crave for respect. You might create a situation where people aren’t respecting you at all, in the beginning you had a lot of anger you blamed others for the situation, you didn’t understand how come someone like you is treated so poorly. By calming your emotions and stopping judging the situation you gain more clarity you ask yourself the right question to know the deepest truth about the situation and you find out that people aren’t respecting you because you have no respect for yourself. Once you have that precious information, you can right away, create self-respect in your life, interaction with people and events in your life are your own creating, you put at front of yourself the lessons you want to learn. No one else does.

When you fail to learn a lesson, you will re-create it over and over again until it is learned. If you happen to say Man/Woman always treat me in that particular way and I do not like it, it is because, you are creating this, it is a belief in that travel bag called belief system, a belief is a stream of consciousness that you can keep observing, because, it is made of energy and energy act as a magnet it will attract similar events and compatible people. What you get in life is what you radiate out … if you fear for your savings and job because of the recession understand that the fear you are observing is going to attract more of what you fear, but, if you get clarity and understand your situation, you can stop creating it and focus on something more enjoyable.
