Where our words come together in a daily email.

Better Than B4

I thought I knew the problem.

Named it.

Framed it.

Felt the weight of it.

I kept pushing against it.

It kept pushing back.

Every attempt to fix it

made it feel bigger.

Then I shifted my view.

Almost by accident.

I zoomed out.

Looked from a different scale.

A different point of view.

What felt impossible

started to look irrelevant.

It wasn’t solved.

It was dissolved.

The edges blurred.

The weight lifted.

The problem became something else.

Not fixed.

Redesigned.

No longer what it was.

Better than b4.

The problem hadn’t disappeared,

I stopped seeing it.

I stopped looking at it

in the same way.

Sometimes the most effective move

isn’t solving a problem.

It’s reframing it.
