The Question: What Matters to You?

'What matters to you?'' is frequently not the same as asking 'What is important to you?' We have to think about the situation we are considering and realize that there is more than a "you" in the asking; there is also an "us". 

Donna and I consider this question from the standpoint of how to go deeper by repeatedly asking the question -- as a prompt -- for each situation we think about. We talk about how asking "What matters to you?" is far better than considering the old metaphor of "Is this the hill you want to die on?". Our work, indeed our lives, should not be reduced to battlefield metaphors. We can use "what matters?" as a kind of mantra-like prompt to help with basic things like mindfulness and consideration.
