✨ The Miracle Question: What Would Have to Happen to...?

There is a question that is very popular in neurodiversity coaching: however, you do not need to have one of the 4 Ds (Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, Dyscalculia, Dysgraphia), Autism or ADHD to benefit from it!

It is quite simple, but it completely changes your perspective, which is often what you need to get to a result.

“For this to be successful, what would have had to happen?”

 This is the miracle question.

⏰ Wasted time

We spend so much time asking:

• What went wrong?

• What is the next step?

• Why is this so frustrating? 

But the miracle question flips the perspective: it moves you into the future — where the outcome already succeeded, and asks you to reverse-engineer the steps that made it possible.

Suddenly your logical mind turns on, and you are no longer trying to guess.

🔮 Why it works

Because when you imagine success, a few things happen:

• Your brain stops operating from fear. Success has already occurred in this scenario — so your mind relaxes.

• You identify what you really need to do. Without the worry of the uncertainty, the path becomes crystal clear.

• You become strategic instead of reactive. You look at the situation like a system, not a problem.

🧭 Try it with something real

Think about something in your life or career right now:

• A transition

• A relationship

• A hard conversation

• A dream you have postponed for months (or years!)

Now imagine you wake up tomorrow and — somehow — it has gone incredibly well.

Ask yourself:

“What would have to have happened for this to be successful?”

Then break it down:

1. What decisions did you stop postponing?

2. Who did you involve, or stop involving?

3. What boundaries did you set?

4. What skills or resources became part of the picture?

🌱 The quiet truth behind the miracle question

Success rarely comes from a dramatic miracle. It comes from a series of small, grounded decisions that align with who you want to become.

The miracle question simply reveals them.

So this week, try it once. Pick something that feels stuck, and let me know how it went!

This week's horoscope!

♈ Aries — 🔥 Your success this month requires patience. Slow down enough to see the real opportunity instead of the shiny distraction.

♉ Taurus — 🌿 For things to work out, you must ask for support earlier than you usually would. Someone around you is ready to help — if you let them.

♊ Gemini — 💡 Your miracle needs focus. Pick one idea and move it forward. Just one. That’s where momentum begins.

♋ Cancer — 🌊 Clarity will come when you speak your needs honestly. No hinting, no hoping others guess.

♌ Leo — ☀️ What must happen? You need to protect your energy. Say no to the draining commitments. Your success relies on your presence, not your schedule.

♍ Virgo — 📚 To make progress, you must allow imperfection. Done is better than perfect — and perfect is slowing you down.

♎ Libra — ⚖️ Your breakthrough comes when you make the decision you’ve been avoiding. Peace comes after the choice, not before.

♏ Scorpio — 🦂 For things to go well, you need to share less and act more. Your plans grow faster in silence.

♐ Sagittarius — 🏹 Your success depends on coming back to your routine. Structure will free you, not limit you.

♑ Capricorn — 🏔️ To move forward, you must delegate. You’re carrying tasks that don’t belong to you anymore.

♒ Aquarius — 🌌 Your miracle requires reconnection. Reach out to someone you haven’t spoken to in a while — they’re part of your next step.

♓ Pisces — 🌙 For your vision to materialise, you need clear boundaries. Kindness doesn’t mean self-erasure.
