When you think you know everything about a situation, especially a challenging situation, open up to possibility.

The act of opening up to possibility opens up the floodgates of life. It’s easy to fall into mental patterns and assume we know all there is to know about a situation and are able to predict every outcome.

The truth is there are countless perspectives to view a situation from and we never know all there is to know. Believing otherwise is both naïve and arrogant.

Surrendering to possibility is an admission that we do not know everything and cannot see the future. It is also an invitation for newer, higher, yet unknown solutions, opportunities and synchronicities to emerge.

When you think you’re in an impossible situation, take a moment to acknowledge that although you do not consciously know how to solve the problem, you know a solution exists and you’re open to receiving it.

This is where the magic happens.

Have a beautiful day!
