The Obstacle

Tit for tat.

Arguments happen
Conflict is inevitable
Disagreements unavoidable.

Different people
See things
Differently.

Different versions
Ideas
Solutions
Methods.

Different desires
Wants
Needs.

Different moods
Perceptions
Judgments.

Different stresses
In life.

We tend to argue
Be disagreeable
Fight for
What we believe
Think
Desire.

Is this
What really matters?

We have
Different positions.

Yet
A layer deeper
We seek
A similar outcome.

It is then
We can ask ourselves
What really matters?

We can
Take time
To explore
Understand
Find the deeper aspiration.

We can ask
At the end of the day
Project
Relationship
At the end of our life
What will really matter?

Do we need
Things done our way?

For others to believe
What we believe?

To be right?

Is it more important
They know we care
We understand?

When conflict is rising
Ask

What really matters?

Follow that path.

• Notice the conflict rising
• STOP and ask what really matters
• Explore the deeper aspiration
• Choose what matters over being right

CHEAT CODE: NOTICE → STOP → EXPLORE → CHOOSE WHAT MATTERS
