Teachable people take long, hard looks in the mirror.

Teachable people encourage others to speak into their lives.

Teachable people learn something new every day.

  1. A great Maxwell quote–teachable people make the best leaders!

    Glad to be back after almost a month away with book and family priorities. God is good–but the days are far too short, lately, to accomplish everything on the list. Thankful for the times He calls me to lay down my best laid plans and be good with it in order to make time for better.

    Trying to get back into the routine this month, though.
    Joy to you!

  2. I pray that I would remain teachable although I know I am not always! But I want to be. Thanks for the words, the reminders.

  3. We’ve used the word “coachable”in our house for about 20 years – having a teachable child is so much easier than having a child that has to learn through experience (think Jacob or the prodigal). I’m teachable – except for my mulish moments – but I’ve learned to recognize the mulishness – and I become teachable much more quickly than before:)
