If things seem “too good to be true,” allow that things CAN be “too good” and also “true.”
Allow that “true” is not as binary as the self might imagine.
True is as true as you make it out to be, and if you do not allow a “too good to be true” to exist, then it does NOT exist.
What a depressing thought, if depressing thoughts are what you are after.
By energizing the belief in “too good to be true,” you eliminate the possibility of what you might otherwise deem as “miracles,” but are, in actuality, everyday possibilities ruled out by self-limiting thinking cloaked in the disguise of intuition.

The adage “too good to be true” often serves as a cautionary reminder, warning us against unrealistically optimistic expectations. However, this perspective, while grounded in a sense of practicality, can inadvertently limit our capacity to embrace the full spectrum of possibilities life offers.
Rethinking the ‘Too Good to be True’ Paradigm
The concept of ‘true’ is not as black-and-white as we might think. Reality, and our perception of what is possible within it, is shaped significantly by our beliefs and expectations. If we rigidly adhere to the idea that certain things are too good to be true, we essentially close the door on those possibilities, denying them the chance to manifest in our lives.
The Fluidity of Truth
Embracing the possibility that something can be both ‘too good’ and ‘true’ invites a more expansive and optimistic view of reality. It allows us to consider that our world is not just a place of mundane occurrences and predictable outcomes but also one where extraordinary and seemingly miraculous events can and do happen.
Embracing Optimistic Realities
The belief in the impossibility of ‘too good to be true’ scenarios is a form of self-limiting thinking. It’s a protective mechanism, perhaps, but one that can prevent us from experiencing life’s full richness. By adopting a more open and accepting mindset, we invite a wider range of experiences and outcomes into our reality.
Overcoming Self-Limiting Beliefs
The notion that what we consider miracles could actually be everyday possibilities is a powerful shift in perspective. It suggests that many of the limitations we perceive are not inherent in the world but are instead constructs of our own making.

Summary
We explore the notion that the belief in things being “too good to be true” can limit our perception of what is possible, suggesting a more fluid understanding of truth. By allowing for the possibility of extraordinary events, we open ourselves to a wider range of experiences and challenge self-limiting beliefs, recognizing that miracles might be everyday occurrences rather than rare anomalies.

“The only limits that exist are the ones in your own mind.” – Anonymous
In the garden of possibility,
Where dreams and reality meet,
Lies a path less traveled by,
Where the ‘too good’ and ‘true’ greet.
In this realm of wonder,
Where miracles unfold,
The only boundaries that exist,
Are the ones that we uphold.
So let’s break free from limits,
That our minds have construed,
And embrace the extraordinary,
In our everyday interlude.
For in the heart of belief,
Lies the power to conceive,
A world where the ‘too good’,
Is the truth we perceive.
We invite your reflections on embracing the extraordinary in our everyday lives and challenging the limits of our beliefs.
