Clarity doesn’t come all at once. It’s something we earn through constant refocusing. If you’ve ever worked behind a camera, you know exactly what I mean. Even the best lenses lose sharpness when the subject shifts. One second you’ve got a clean, crisp image, and the next it’s completely out of focus. But that doesn’t mean the camera’s broken. It just means something changed, and it needs to adjust.
That’s life.
We’re always chasing the perfect shot… the right job, the right path, the right version of ourselves, but clarity isn’t permanent. It moves as we move. It changes as we grow. You don’t just “get clear” once and stay that way forever. You learn to refocus again and again, depending on what’s in front of you.
When a camera blurs, it’s not an error message. It’s information. It’s the lens telling you that something shifted. Maybe the light changed. Maybe the distance did. Either way, it’s a cue to readjust.
Life works the same way. When things start to feel unclear or uncertain, it’s not the end of the story. It’s a reminder that your situation has changed. Maybe your priorities evolved. Maybe you outgrew what once inspired you. Maybe what used to make sense just doesn’t anymore. The blur is a sign, “NOT A PROBLEM”
And that’s okay.
Losing clarity doesn’t mean you’re lost. It just means it’s time to slow down, take a breath, and readjust your focus.
When I’m behind a camera, refocusing takes patience. You don’t twist the focus ring wildly hoping it lands. You move with intention. You look closely at your subject. You find the balance between sharpness and light.
In life, the process is the same. You gotta Learn How to Adjust Your Lens!
Step back. Sometimes you’re standing too close to see things clearly. Give yourself room to breathe.
Adjust your settings. Maybe you need to let in more light, or maybe you need to change your angle. In real life, that might mean spending more time with people who inspire you, or trying something new creatively.
Lock in your subject. Ask yourself what matters right now. What’s actually important in this season? Because trying to focus on everything at once is how you stay blurry. “But this takes you being honest with yourself”
And Don’t Confuse Motion with Progress, You can be moving fast and still be out of focus. I’ve been there. I’ve had seasons where I was busy from sunrise to midnight, doing everything I could to “move forward,” but deep down, I wasn’t getting anywhere. I was just spinning.
A shaky camera doesn’t capture a better story. Sometimes, the best thing you can do is stop moving. Stillness is underrated. It gives you a chance to stabilize, breathe, and see what’s really happening in the frame.
Stillness is where you find your clarity again.
A lot of people think losing clarity means they need to start from scratch. I don’t believe that. Refocusing isn’t about throwing everything away. It’s about fine tuning what’s already there. Think of your life like a gallery of photos. Some are sharp, some are blurry, some are underexposed. But they’re all part of your story. You don’t delete every picture that isn’t perfect. You learn from it, adjust your settings, and take the next shot better than the last.
You don’t need a new camera. You just need to refocus the one you’ve got. “Refocusing Isn’t Starting Over”
If you’ve been feeling off lately… if you’ve been questioning your direction, your purpose, or your next step, maybe it’s time to refocus.
I help people do exactly that in my 1:1 sessions. Whether you’re a creative trying to rediscover your spark or someone simply figuring out what comes next, I’ll help you zoom out, realign, and get your vision clear again.
We’ll talk through where you are, what’s blurry, and what needs to shift so you can move forward with intention and confidence.
Because even cameras, with all their precision and technology, have to refocus sometimes. You’re no different.
If this spoke to you, don’t ignore that feeling. Reach out. Let’s refocus together.
Join me for a 1:1 Creative Direction Session today and let’s bring your life, creativity, and goals back into clarity.
Hope this helps,
