Accountability is something we know to do, something ignored, but it should not be ignored. If we want to create a culture, so we can all live together in harmony, then accountability starts with each of us.
Being responsible for ourselves
We must start by being responsible. We need to take ownership of our decisions and when we make commitments, we must meet those commitments. If we ignore accountability, others will too.
Accountabilities
Being accountable isn’t something you do once. It’s an all-time thing. If one person ignores their accountabilities, then it will open the floodgates for others to ignore and to be selectively accountable.
Responsibilities and Accountabilities
We should stop putting the blame on others and whining. Us veering off course, signifies our lack of accountability and responsibility towards our own actions. Instead we need to be proactive. We may never succeed without facing our responsibilities and making ourselves accountable.
Being Mindful
Being mindful is keeping an open mind. It's a state of awareness, accepting facts without judgment. When we choose not to accept facts, we’re telling and showing others we’re not accountable. Our non-accountability is a conversation with the universe and the universe will never agree.
Life is about accountability
For those of us who are accountable, the universe will always want to help us meet with success. Life is accountability. No one escapes it.
Being accountable isn't exactly rocket science is it? It simply means nothing more than doing the things you know you should do, taking control, fixing your mistakes, and fully owning the things that you are responsible for.
It's no wonder the world is in such a mess when leaders don't exhibit any of these traits.
Thanks. Yes, you've said what a lot of people are thinking, but probably don't say. And you're right. With Covid, it could have been handled much better.
I personally don't get what's so difficult. But you're right and until we change, it will be more of the same. I think we all know what that means.
