Where Do You Do your Critical Thinking?

Posted by Aaron Walker on Jun 3, 2022 10:05:12 AM

I wanted to encourage you guys to do some things a little bit differently and I thought I would just share with you what I do. What I do is that I come over to this place, a park near Old Hickory Lake, periodically and there's these benches that are around the lake and sit and think and get away from the computer, get away from the phone and I write. I make notes. I just come over here kind of relax meditate for a little while and just think how am I going to accomplish a certain task that I'm setting out to do. So maybe it's crazy. Maybe you do all your thinking at the office but for me going to these parks the greenways hanging out looking at nature just thinking. But I’d like to ask you guys, where do you go to do your critical thinking?

What Is Your Secret Weapon?

Posted by Aaron Walker on May 27, 2022 8:01:54 AM

We're reading that book John Gottman's book, Seven Principles For Making Marriage Work, and, I want to tell you, that book is absolutely outstanding. At first I didn’t want to read but in chapter 2, John Gottman asked a question that I never really thought about. He said, “What is your secret weapon for defusing arguments?” I started thinking about that a little bit. I want to ask you today. Do you take things too serious? I mean probably, you are arguing about some dumb stuff in your relationship. We've got to do things to defuse these situations. I’d like to ask you again, what is your secret weapon? What is that thing that you're using to defuse some of those arguments or bad situations or disagreements that you're having? So just think about it. I don't know what it is for you? Whatever it is though I would encourage you to defuse it faster than not. Figure out what that thing is that you can do to defuse those bad situations.

What Is Your Character Worth?

Posted by Aaron Walker on May 16, 2022 9:00:00 AM

I'd like to encourage you today when you're doing deals, think through what the real cost is. Not only as it relates to the financial loss but what it could pertain to as it relates to your reputation. We are people of character. We have integrity and we need to stick to our word regardless of the financial outcome. When you're faced with dilemmas think about what your character is worth and go forward and make the right decision.

Is What You Say Empty Words?

Posted by Aaron Walker on May 13, 2022 9:00:00 AM

Say what you mean and mean what you say - - - We don't do that often times even in the workplace and even at home. I see this over and over and over the lack of consistency. I see this primarily with parents with young children and they wonder sometimes why their children kind of get away with some things that they probably shouldn’t. It is because we don’t exercise the authority that God gave us over the children and we just disallow ourselves from making those tough calls and then our children misbehave and they grow up in a world not realizing that people mean what they say. I want to encourage you today to mean what you say say what
you mean and follow through.
