Having a clear perspective

For me, I think it useful to be clear about things in various aspect of my life. Such as to be clear where I stand, to be clear of the situation I am in, to be clear about what I want, to be clear how to get to where I want, to be clear about the risk, to be clear about my weakness and even to be clear that I am unclear about something etc... To have this clarity of the situation, really helps things to be kept in perspective.

Why is it important to have clarity in perspective?
Why is being clear and honest about our situation really important? Some people may feel it is only natural to be honest and not live a lie, it is naturally a healthy state of mind to have. it just feels good to breath the air reality.

It is important to be clear about the situation so that we know our position and what action to take. If we are honest about our problems, then there are chance we can fix the problem. If we do not recognise or come to terms with the problem, we won't be able to fix it. Simple as that. If we want to improve, we have to be honest and look at our weakness, our strength, where we stand, and only from there can we make appropiate dicisions.

For example, when we visit a doctor, we expect a "true/clear" diagnosis so we could take the right treatment for it, otherwise there won't be a true diagnosis and none appropiate medication will be given therefore harming to patient. Say if we want to have cancer screening test, we expect to know the true test results, so we can take appropiate action to prevent it. If we fail to find the truth by clouded test reading, than we are putting ourselves at risk and danger.

If we are constantly and honestly recognizing our problems and fix them, it will gradually lead to the truth and success! For example, when the objective is to send a space shuttle into the moon, it was impossible to predict and plan the journey as there were too many unpredictable obstacles that constantly changes the outcome. Therefore, they adopted a smart idea of just being aware of their location and return back to due to course right direction. The obstacles lead the them to be misdirected, and they just have to recognised they they are redirected and change their ship into the right direction. Disregarding the time, this process will eventually allow the ship to reach it's target. Just how we should recognise where we stand, so we could make changes toward the direction we want. Or at least to understand the situation to begin with.

Our character contributes to our clarity in perspective
In order to reach to this clarity of perspect, our character has a major role in it. For example, if we are more honest and truthful we are able to see clearer, but if we are deceitful and in scare of the truth, it is most likely we would be in self denial and and lack clarity. It also takes courage and strength to admit our weakness, than it is likely to know where we stand, but if we are too weak to face our weakness, we will not know where we stand. if we are egotistic, we will be too arrogant to admit and see our weakness thereby be clouded from reality, where as we are less egotistic and more humble, we will be able to see our weakness and where we stand. If we are too attached, we would have difficulties letting go of our fantasy and won't face reality, where as if we are less attached, we will be less emotionally bias and see things clearly. Those are just some examples
