Context For Next Moves

Garth Beyer

A fact without context is a loose marble in a dark hallway. You will step on it. You will swear. You might blame the cat.

Context is the invisible soup your thoughts are swimming in. Same sentence, different room, different universe. “We need to talk” said at a candlelit table is a doorway. Said in a parking lot is a trapdoor. Said in a Slack thread is a crime scene.

This is why smart people still misunderstand each other. They are not arguing about the thing. They are arguing about the weather system surrounding the thing.

Want more power instantly? Before you react, ask: What story is this living inside? Who said it, when, after what, to whom, and with what bruise on their day?

Change the context and you change the meaning. Change the meaning and you change the next move.

And, friend, the next move is your whole life.

Stay Positive & Context Is King, Queen, Everything In Between
