COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
We’re out here to get better: as men & as leaders—in all areas of our lives. Certainly that starts with fitness, but I think it’s inevitable that that mindset, the goal of relentless forward progress will bleed over into each area of our lives. If we’re going to get better at anything, we’re going to need to be teachable.
I found a list of five ways to know if you’re teachable.
- People give you input—if you’ve proven yourself to not be teachable, people probably gave up on giving you input long ago
- You experience growth—if other people’s input leads to results, you must be teachable
- you don’t have to defend yourself against criticism—you don’t put walls up, you take criticism, knowing that if there’s any truth to it, it’s an opportunity to get better
- Not only do you take criticism, you do it without firing back; without returning the favor
- you’re hearing different input than you used to—progress is having new areas to work on than you did a few years ago
Run back through them. Think about an area you’re trying to improve in and If one of these hits home with you; take the time to work on it, to cultivate it this week.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Fill that Q Calendar.
Also, in April, we’ll be collecting individually wrapped snacks & drinks, as well as paper towels for Safe Haven. It’s a ministry in the Austin-East area giving teens a safe spot to land to get off the street and avoid gang violence. I’ll post a full list in slack; if you’ll tack a couple of those things on to your family’s shopping list, it’s an easy way to make an impact on a part of our community that has experienced a lot of pain the last few months.
