As things that are precisely defined or “clear-cut” are often easier for us to process, more often than not, we encounter situations that are “not black and white” but somewhat ambiguous and ambivalent.
Such “grey areas”, which do not fit into neat categories, can present challenges, as they require us to accept that we do not always have all the answers.
Acknowledging and dealing with this often requires us to “switch gears” or adjust our thinking. This may sometimes involve accepting being “in two minds” or undecided about something.
But “grey areas” can also bring opportunities. This level of flexibility can be helpful when dealing with other challenges life throws at us. Adversity can be better coped with and withstood by learning to “roll with the punches” where appropriate.
