Do you know the words that define you?
The ones above were mine. You can tell a lot just by looking at those words.
This blog is about Clarity.
Specifically about YOU daring to get clear on who you are, what you want and committing to living Your Truth.
Why do I say “dare”?
95% of the population is not clear. 95% of the population live their whole lives without clear goals in mind. 95% of the population never allow themselves to be who they were meant to be.
It does take tons of courage and “daring” to live Your Truth.
Because we know when we get truly clear, we’ll have to take action. We’ll have to commit. What’s the point of getting clear otherwise?
And what if it doesn’t work? What if I fail? Getting clear on our most deepest and dearest dreams means facing the possibility they’ll never come true. It’s much more comfortable to never even get clear on those dreams to begin with.
That’s human logic. Actually lizard brain’s logic. Lizard brains job is to keep us safe. To keep us in the comfort zone. And it does everything to accomplish that.
The funny part is that those 5% who are really clear are the ones that set the rules. They are the Einsteins, the Bill Gates, the Seth Godins of our society.
The world responds to Clarity.
With lots of Love and Cash and Applause.
All you need to do is dare to get clear. It really is that simple. Everything brilliant always is.
Clarity means knowing who you truly are +what your life purpose is + what your authentic vision is+what message you came here with.
Align what you do in the world with all of the above and it will respond. It can’t not to.
Freedom and Meaning.
Everything I do is designed around two keywords – Freedom and Meaning.
Freedom is everything. Meaning is what makes Freedom worth having.
What about Clarity? Clarity is a way to both.
I Tell My Truth.
You might not like some of my posts. I am not here to please everyone. I am here to be myself and express myself fully. I don’t ask apology for who I am anymore.
I don’t expect you to agree with everything I say, I speak My Truth. Your Truth might be totally different and I accept it, even though I might not agree with it.
Professionally:
I write on this blog, facilitate and organize personal growth group workshops in Atlanta, create products to help people gain Freedom and create Meaning in their lives (new one is coming soon) and conduct Brainstorming Sessions with artists/entrepreneurs/aspiring entrepreneurs.
Everything I do serves one ultimate goal:
Give You Clarity on:
- Who you are
- What your purpose, passions and dreams are
Help you live more consciously, with more awareness and tap Into Your Inner Source of:
- Genius
- Creativity
- Inspiration
- Wisdom..
… so you can find your way to live your life aligned with your True Self and your Authentic Vision.
What I did in the past:
I worked for a big joint venture corporation between Turkey and Uzbekistan, for a government organization (Ministry of Foreign Economic Affairs) in Moscow, Russia helping foreign entrepreneurs who wanted to start a business in Moscow region, as a marketing specialist for small startup and as an independent marketing consultant, and I once had an aspiration to start a gift registry in Russia (they still don’t have one there). I also worked as a promotional model for various small and big companies.
One thing I learned – life is too short to do anything you don’t truly enjoy.
This lesson made it all worth it. Plus the experience I gained turned out to be invaluable.
Another lesson I learned is that being your own boss is one of the quickest ways to grow because it forces you to go out of your comfort zone. It is also one of the best ways to fully express yourself, if the business you are in is aligned with who you are.
Personal:
I was born and raised in an amazing country with bold, stubborn and passionate people. The country was previously called Soviet Union and later it had broken up into many small countries. I was born in Moscow, Russia there but lived for a long period of my life in Tashkent, Uzbekistan.
I came to US in late 2004. I was following the dream…and the man I loved. The man later became my husband and I still love him as a person, but we are getting divorced. Why? Because people grow apart, because some things don’t last, because that’s what was meant to happen. Does it really matter why? BTW, divorce sucks.
I have the most amazing 3 years old son Nicholas. He recently told me: “It’s ok to make mistakes mommy, I still love you. You know that I love you, right?” I am not a perfect mother, but I know that I did something right if I could instill this wisdom into him. I hope he’ll never lose it.
And I recently met an amazing man. When I got separated, I wrote a list of 31 “must haves” for a new partner/relationship. He is exactly what I wrote on that list. I told you, Clarity works magic.
My favorite places where I feel the most aligned with who I am are bookstores, cathedrals, small cafes in Paris and in front of a fireplace.
This description of INFP personality type suits me perfectly.
I was born in November. I love autumn. There is dignity, depth, meaning, inspiration and spirit in it.
I love color red. I bet you noticed that already:)
Reading is like going to a party for my soul. Favorite book? Not sure, but one book that I have read at least 20 times is Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy.
I crave intimacy and deep authentic connections with people.
I don’t do small talk. I am not good at it. Stopped even trying.
I am vegetarian. You can eat meat in front of me, I won’t judge.
I am 28.
I am deeply in love with my life. There are challenges, life is not perfect but I wake up every morning bursting with the excitement of what the day is going to bring me.
My Atlanta Meetup Group:
If you are in ATL and haven’t joined Positivity Place meetup group yet, join us now and come to our next event. I’d love to meet you.

Email:
Due to the time constraints and certain priorities, I stopped answering personal advice type emails that I sometimes get. It is simply not practical for me to respond to “how to stay more positive if your husband is a negative person” types emails.
That said, please give me suggestions for my next articles, send your comments, feedback etc. I will read and take it all into consideration. If you’d like to connect and talk on the phone/Skype sharing ideas etc, I am often open to that as well. Write me and we’ll see how we can add value to each other.

Please note: At the moment I am not looking for guest posts. It’s all about me around here:)
