What matters

Two evenings ago I was enjoying an evening of conversation with friends when one courageously asked, “What really matters?” I ask myself this question every day, but usually only to myself. So, I appreciated the opportunity to reflect with friends. The overall theme that I took away from the conversation was that what matters is that we act from our core values, which for me include truthfulness, compassion, grace, abundance, and collaboration.

If you’re asking yourself the same question, check out Seth Godin’s compilation of thoughts from more than 70 thinkers. As Godin says, “Now, more than ever, we need a different way of thinking, a useful way to focus and the energy to turn the game around.”
