In many arguments (and just in everyday life, for that matter) we tend to see two solutions to any problem, two options to any situation.

Ya’ll, there are way more than that.

Often you can take bits of both options or even do both (one at a time). Sometimes with a bit of dreaming you can come up with something entirely different that will satisfy you both.

The next time you are struggling with “this” or “that,” take the time to pray and ask God to help you come up “that other option” (or two or three).

Let creativity rule your solutions. Don’t get locked into less.

Sometimes all it takes is a subtle shift in perspective, an opening of the mind, an intentional pause and reset, or a new route to start to see new options and new possibilities. Kristin Armstrong
