ASK ANOTHER QUESTION

As a man, I want to fix things. I want to get things done. No time to sit around reading tea leaves.

Just call me Vanilla Ice baby because if you have a problem, “Yo, I’ll solve it.”

A friend calls needing some advice – “This is what you tell them……”
Wife begins to mention something going on in the business – “Well here is what you do……”
Kids are running around like a banshee war party – “Hey, calm down and quit swinging from the ceiling fan…….”
Clients begin throwing excuses at me – “It’s simple, all you have to do is…………

The one who gives an answer before he listens - this is foolishness and disgrace for him.

Proverbs 18:13

I serve up solutions on silver platters then sit back and wait to respond in a song like Maui with “You’re Welcome” to the flood of “Thank you” and accolades of my greatness. 

Over the past few weeks, I have had several instances from books, podcasts, and a few conversations that raised a few questions in my mind. 
Questions about asking questions. 
I have been focusing more on questions  

Questions, not in being nosy, but in a desire to learn more. 
Asking better questions. 
Asking more questions. 

I can ask and learn more about my friends and know them and their situation better. And sometimes I learn something I can apply to my own life. 
With clients, asking more questions before giving dishing out knowledge bombs, allows me to dig deeper. This, in turn, allows me to help and provide better pertinent content for them.
When my kids are wild or upset, I have posed questions instead of telling them what to do. Getting on a knee and asking questions in a calm voice calms them and even drys tears when they are upset. 
Listening intently to my wife has brought me closer to her. (In case you didn’t know, our ladies do not always want us to be Mr. Fix It or The Answer Man) Sometimes they just need a listening ear. I know it is kind of odd and can be difficult, almost alien, but it is a good thing. 

Now I am far from great at this. It has been a process for sure.
But am I working at it? Yes, I am doing my best!
Do you ask questions or just deal out solutions like your playing ‘Go Fish’?

The next time you are about to spit out a solution, pause and dig a little deeper. I challenge you to ask at least three questions before coming in like Vanilla and just solving it. 

What questions do you find lead you to a better understanding before you offer a solution?

Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to anger.

James 1:!9

What are you arguing about?

Jesus and his apostles were walking to Capernaum. On the road, they began talking and discussing amongst themselves. The discussion soon grew to an argument.
Once they got to their destination and settled down Jesus asked: “What were you arguing about on the way?”
The apostles were silent. They did not want to admit that they had been arguing who among them was the greatest. 

Walking along with Jesus and they are arguing over who is the best. 

Imagine sitting down with a few friends for dinner. But we have been placed at a table full of Hall of Famers. And then we start talking about that time we got a hit during a JV scrimmage.
Pretty ridiculous.
Not at all impressive. 

The apostles are walking with Jesus and arguing over who is the greatest. Walk with the greatest and arguing who is the greatest. 

When Jesus asked “What were you arguing about?”, he already knew. 
He simply stated, “If anyone wants to be first, he must be last and servant to all.”

Mark 9:33-35

Instead of thinking about how we can be the greatest.
Instead of looking at how others can raise us up. 
Instead of worrying about how we can look good.
Instead of being concerned about what others think.

Lead by serving others. 
Be great by humbling. 
Get better by staying hungry.

Do what is needed.
Do it when it is needed.
Do it even when we don’t feel like it.

That is greatness. 
Serving others. 
Doing the tough stuff.
Doing what is needed.
Don’t argue. Do.

Stay humble.
Stay hungry.
Be a man of action.

What are you arguing about? 
What can you do today to serve instead of looking for others to lift you up?

“Waste no more time arguing what a good man should be. Be one.”

Marcus Aurelius
