am I teachable?

How do I feel about discipline? How do I feel about authority? These are two important questions simply for the reason that if I don't like being under another's authority and or see discipline as a negative, I probably do not have a teachable spirit. When I am not teachable, I am stubborn.... and a stubborn spirit is not likely to see much lasting change. Anytime I am locked into my own way of thinking and not willing to be taught, what I am really saying is "I want it my way". Look at your life? What is not going as you wish it would? What changes do you want to see? If you could make those changes alone, my guess is, you would have made them already.
Are you open to asking for help and then following that advice? Are you willing to admit that you do not have the answers to another and come under their authority and let them teach you?
Having a teachable spirit is necessary if change is going to occur.

STUBBORN...resistant to change, and immoveable. It's not a positive thing to be known as stubborn and a defect of character.
