3 Minute Retreat - Be Teachable

Are you teachable?

Let's face it, we all have our moments when it can be hard to hear from another person what we may be doing wrong. Take it a step further and how many of us have the hardest time asking for help?

Who would have thought it would be my children who would teach me my greatest lessons? This was a very long time ago, but it is one of my most favorite photos. While they are teenagers now and more apt to be arguing it out, they do in fact find moments like this one where they help each other. I watched them bicker to no end, then an hour later help each other with homework. I sit back in awe at how they have no fear to ask for help in these moments.

Don't get me wrong, they have their moments, but these are the ones' that remind me the most to embrace humility when I need help. It is not something I was able to do often, for if showing a weakness or lack of knowledge growing up, that became the focus. Over the years I learned to ask and even harder to receive help from others and it has opened up my journey with countless gifts and lessons.

Take a moment to look at your life...can you ask for help?
What holds you back from being teachable?
