Bridging the GAP Between Impossible and Possible!
Mar 08, 2023Using “and…” in problem-solving is like opening a door to possibilities and perspectives. It has the power to break through overwhelming obstacles and transform the impossible into possible.
Adding “and" to you difficult or even fearful thought is a valuable tool that allows us to acknowledge our limitations or doubts, AND… still open a door to new solutions.
As we embrace the power of "and" instead of limiting words like "can't", "won't", "but", “or”, don’t, we give ourselves permission to open our mind to solutions.
For example, instead of saying:
“I can’t do it” or “I don’t have the experience”.
You could say:
“I not exactly sure how.. AND… I’m going to try anyway!”
or
“She doesn’t really care for me AND… I am going to make her best friend, anyway!”
"And" encourages us to be more open-minded and flexible in our thinking. We begin to look for ways to solve challenges instead of avoiding them, and we start seeing them as opportunities to grow. By breaking down barriers that once seemed insurmountable, we gain the confidence and resilience to overcome even the toughest obstacles.
Ultimately, the power of “and…” lies in its ability to inspire us to take action and move forward, anyway. Even when we feel fear, we avoid getting stuck and keep ourself moving in a productive direction.
So, the next time you're faced with a difficult situation, remember the power of “and…”, add it to your list of what you think you can’t do’s “AND”… watch the magic unfold!
