What I Love #2: You’re teachable.
This is something we have too little of these days, and without it, any attempt at improving ourselves comes to a screeching halt.
It is one thing to focus on ourselves rather than someone else. It is another step entirely to be willing to see and address our mistakes. To be willing to look at what we simply don’t do well, and learn. To hear “You may not have intended it, but you really messed up in this way. Here’s how you hurt your spouse’s feelings. But if you do this, it will help.”
You all are willing to hear that, and hear it consistently. I know it might sound so odd, but I’m proud of you. In a culture that has a difficult time saying “I’m sorry,” or “I messed up,” your willingness to do so is a model for many others.
